Mclaren 720s V8 S A (2019)
2019 Mclaren 720s V8 S A
CarHunch analysed 205 real MOT records for the 2019 Mclaren 720s V8 S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2019 McLaren 720S V8 S-A has a first-time pass rate of 73.3%, which trails the UK average of 80% by a meaningful margin—a sign that these high-performance machines demand more attention at MOT time. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually absent from this cohort, and the average vehicle has logged only 11,255 miles, suggesting these are low-use supercars that haven't been thrashed.
With just 0.14 failures per vehicle and 0.5 advisories on average, the failure pattern is light, but the below-average pass rate points to specific niggles rather than systemic unreliability. Before buying, have your pre-purchase inspection focus on the exact failure categories that appear in this cohort's data—suspension geometry, emissions, and brake systems are common weak spots on high-strung McLarens—because even careful ownership doesn't exempt you from the slightly higher risk baked into this model.
What to check before buying a 2019 Mclaren 720s V8 S A
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.
