2015 Mclaren MP4 12C 650S 3.8L Petrol · SF15 LHB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. The most recent test in June 2024 at 7,751 miles passed despite an advisory for cracking and perishing on the outer edges of both front tyres. This mirrors an advisory from the June 2022 test at 7,646 miles, suggesting the rubber compounds are failing due to age despite the extremely low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 705 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between the March 2018 test at 6,053 miles and the March 2019 test at 7,405 miles, during which the car covered a relatively small distance. Such infrequent use often implies the vehicle sits for long periods, which explains the observed deterioration of rubber-based components and the fluid-related issue noted in the shock absorbers. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and tyre components to address these recurring-style faults. The 2019 test at 7,405 miles flagged the offside rear shock absorber for light misting of oil, indicating a seal failure that should be checked for further leaks or loss of damping. Given the repeated advisories regarding tyre per in 2022 and 2024, the current set likely requires replacement due to sidewall cracking regardless of remaining tread depth. Additionally, the brake discs should be inspected for corrosion or pitting, which are common on high-performance vehicles that remain stationary for extended durations.
