2020 Mclaren GT V8 S-A 4.0L Petrol · RJ20 AFX

The most recent MOT on 2026-03-04 recorded three tyre-related defects, including perishing front tyres and a distorted offside rear road wheel. These issues mirror earlier findings, such as cracked rear tyres in 2026-03-02 and 2025-02-26, suggesting a recurring tyre condition. The offside rear wheel distortion was noted twice, raising concerns about potential alignment or suspension misalignment. A failure in 2026-03-02 highlighted a defective windscreen wiper blade, worn rear tyres, and a tread depth below 1.6mm, which was later resolved. However, the same vehicle failed again in 2024-03-04 due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring, a critical suspension component. This indicates a significant mechanical risk, though no further suspension issues were recorded in subsequent tests. The vehicle’s mileage of 15,876 miles over six years equates to roughly 2,646 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply infrequent use or periods of inactivity, potentially accelerating tyre perishing or component corrosion. However, the low mileage also suggests less wear on high-mileage consumables like brakes or engine parts. The defect pattern shows some stability in tyre issues but a single severe suspension failure.
