The buying brief

Considered on the car's own terms.

The brief is organised the way McLaren builds its cars.

The Sports Series runs from the 570S and touring 570GT to the track-honed 600LT and road-legal 620R; the Super Series covers the 650S, 720S and 750S. Every one is built around a carbon-fibre monocoque.

The Longtail cars, the 600LT and 675LT in coupe and Spider form and the 765LT, carry the lighter, more focused LT treatment. The Ultimate Series P1 and Senna, the hybrid and the track-focused hypercar, are considered case by case, with complete service and ownership history reviewed.

Across the range a specialist looks at documented McLaren or approved-specialist servicing, any Special Operations specification, and the condition of the carbon bodywork and paint. Track use, a non-standard exhaust or protective film do not rule a car out; what matters is that the work is disclosed and the history is complete.

The guide

Selling your McLaren, explained.

01

How do I sell my McLaren in the UK?

There are three routes to selling a McLaren: a private sale, a dealer part-exchange, and a direct sale to a specialist buyer. A private sale means advertising the car, managing viewings and test drives, and handling a large bank transfer yourself. A part-exchange is quick but the figure is tied to the car you buy next, and a franchised retailer will usually only take a recent car with its own service history. A direct sale to a specialist means one review of the car, one written offer, collection arranged, and payment by bank transfer before the car leaves. MotorSignet is the third route: a specialist reviews your McLaren personally and makes a direct purchase offer.

02

What does a direct buyer check on a McLaren?

The service history against McLaren's annual schedule, the condition of the carbon tub, the known points for that series, and whether the specification on the build sheet is the specification on the car. McLaren's schedule is a service every twelve months or at the mileage interval, whichever comes first, so a buyer looks for an unbroken run of McLaren retailer or recognised specialist stamps. On the Super Series cars (650S, 675LT, 720S, 750S) that includes the hydraulic suspension and its accumulators; on the Sports Series (570S, 570GT, 600LT) it includes the infotainment and the lift system records. On a P1 it includes the high-voltage hybrid battery and its service record. On every car it includes the two keys, the owner's folio, any MSO options and any paint protection film, and whether any accident repair was signed off by McLaren, because the tub is structural and is replaced rather than repaired if it is damaged. None of these rule a car out; they are what the offer is based on.

03

Which paperwork proves a McLaren's history?

The service record, the build specification, and the retailer invoices in date and mileage order. McLaren keeps service records digitally, so a retailer or specialist can print the full history for the car; the stamps in the folio should agree with it. The build specification lists every factory option, including MSO paint and carbon, and the paint and interior codes. Where a McLaren extended warranty is in place, the certificate and its expiry date matter, because the warranty is tied to a continuous service record. Two keys, the leather folio, the tyre inflation kit and the battery conditioner complete the set.

04

Does track use stop a McLaren being bought directly?

No, track use does not stop a McLaren being bought directly, and on a 600LT, 675LT, 765LT or Senna it is expected. What matters is that it is declared, that the maintenance kept pace with the use (brake fluid, pads and discs, tyres, and the fluid intervals McLaren sets for track use), and that the invoices match what you describe. A car with honest track history and the records to show it is reviewed like any other.

05

How does a direct sale to MotorSignet work?

A direct sale to MotorSignet takes five steps: review, written offer, collection or delivery, inspection, and payment by bank transfer before the car leaves you. You enter the registration and the specialist reviews your McLaren from your description, photographs and paperwork; the two keys, the leather folio, the tyre inflation kit and the battery conditioner complete the set. You receive the offer in writing, with the inspection terms stated. If you accept, collection is arranged at a time that suits you, or you deliver to us. Any difference found at inspection is explained and agreed before anything is signed.

Questions

Before you begin.

º1Do you consider left-hand-drive or imported McLarens?

Yes. Use the manual-details route and include the country of registration, the registration or VIN, service history and current location.

º2Does track use or a non-standard exhaust rule a McLaren out?

Not automatically. Provide an honest description of use, modifications, service history and current condition.

º3What McLaren documentation is useful?

Service and warranty records, factory specification, invoices and details of any paint, carbon or mechanical work all help the review.

º4Is there any obligation after I submit my car?

No. A submission and personal review do not commit you to accepting an offer.

º5What happens if the car has outstanding finance?

Tell us when you submit the car. If a purchase is agreed, the settlement is handled with the lender as part of completion.

º6Can you consider an imported or overseas-registered car?

Yes, case by case. Imported, left-hand-drive and overseas-registered cars can be considered. Use the manual-details route and include the VIN, registration and current location where available.

º7Will the car be advertised publicly?

No. MotorSignet purchases suitable cars directly and reviews every enquiry personally from first contact.
