Mclaren 570 (2017)
2017 Mclaren 570
CarHunch analysed 293 real MOT records for the 2017 Mclaren 570. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2017 McLaren 570 is a genuinely reliable performer by UK standards, with a 94.6% first-time pass rate that sits well above the 80% average and a low dangerous defect rate of just 7.2%. This is a premium supercar that proves itself on the MOT bench, suggesting owners are maintaining these machines properly.
The median mileage of just 14,278 miles tells you these are cherished, low-use cars rather than daily drivers, which partly explains the strong pass rate—low mileage typically means fewer failures. With only 0.38 failures per vehicle and 1.6 advisories on average, owners should expect straightforward MOTs, but before buying one, verify the full service history carefully, as McLarens are expensive to repair when something does go wrong.
What to check before buying a 2017 Mclaren 570
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
