Known faults for McLaren McLaren 570S / 540C / 570GT
Our database tracks 7 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Poor
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: MCLAREN 570S
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Paint Bubbling / Corrosion(Moderate)
Aluminum panels can suffer from oxidation under the paint, typically starting at the edges of the doors or wheel arches.
- Coolant Hose Clamp Leaks(Moderate)
McLaren used a specific type of hose clamp that can loosen over time, leading to slow coolant leaks in the engine bay.
- Door Latch and Soft-Close Failure(Moderate)
The mechanism for the dihedral doors can become misaligned or the soft-close motor can fail, making the doors difficult to latch.
- Door Hinge Cracking and Alignment(Moderate)
The dihedral door hinges are under significant mechanical stress and can develop cracks over time. This affects door clearance and can damage surrounding paintwork. Hinge replacement requires careful recalibration of door alignment.
- SSG Gearbox Main Shaft Bearing Wear(Serious)
The 7-speed Graziano dual-clutch gearbox is generally reliable but has a known weakness in its main shaft bearings. When they collapse, gear selection becomes erratic and oil leaks can develop. A full gearbox rebuild is expensive but the issue is well understood by specialists.
