4 COMMON ISSUES with Used McLarens | and their SOLUTIONS 

At 8700miles, my 570S engine light came on with "mis-fire cylinder 8". Ended up that oil had eaten the inside of a turbo and caused havoc. $92,000 complete engine replacement. Took 7.5 months, fortunately on warranty. Car never ran the same after. Some malfunction message almost every start. IRIS screen had constant problems.

Four common issues: Power trains; electrical systems, body panels, and upholstery. Other than that everything works fine. The cigarette lighters are reliable - somewhat.

Unless I missed it, you didn't mention bodywork corrosion. I've had 3 McLarens from brand new, a 540c (I only had this for a couple of months), a 570s Spider and a 720s Spider and both the 570 and 720 suffered from corrosion of both front wings. This was not a big deal for me because the work was covered under warranty but outside of the 5 year (I think) bodywork warranty, I would be very wary indeed. I believe the 720s wing replacements cost somewhere in the region of £30k for the 2. The work required on my last service for the 720s, which I kept for 3 years, totalled over £9k (3 failed springs ++++). The car had done just over 8,000 miles. Again almost all of this work, apart from the service itself, was covered by the warranty but if I'd kept it 4 years, that would have been down to me. You have to be brave and rich to buy one of these things outside of warranty, in my opinion.

Great video, tons of valueble information with a little ad on the end with value tied to it. Who doesn't want 100-200 more HP?? lol

Kenny you guys are elite status no doubt about it and yet you still keep it cool and stylish. Loved that ending. "Where is everybody". Lol

Very informative thankyou for this video 🍻

Great video Kenny! I actually looked at a 570s recently and thought "I know it has issues but nothing that scares me" so it's good to see this video.

Great video. I wouldn’t trust my car anywhere else. PPI 💯

Awesome information

570S here von 2019. 11000 km. Perfect car without any problems.

I work with a guy that had his GTR done at your shop and he recommended you for my lexus sc 400. Ill be calling soon

What are the part numbers for the Coolant lines?

I saw a video in which an aftermarket part was attached to the 570's 12V battery because of a drain issue? Is that also a good "upgrade"?

I had a 570s for 1 year. It showed up with door faults and the ac didn't work. Anytime the car was washed it would shut down randomn electronics or throw a fault, it never worked properly. The firewall detached and was sitting on the frame. The car was garaged on a battery tender and the car 50% of the time wouldn't recognize the key. I'd have to wave it around the car to get it to recognize key. Worst made car I've ever owned.

What many people fail to Realize is that McLarens are "Real Race Cars" and not necessarily production cars... Ie: their quality control is not going to be excellent like a Merc, or BMW, or Porsche. They make excellent race cars, and their manufacturing process growing so rapidly has some quality control issues, as well as quirks that will iron out in due time. If anyone has owned a race car, or a complete Frame off car.. it will always need tending to.m especially when it's driven hard. If you want reliability get a Toyota... If you want a white knuckle experience, heart out of your stomach, thrillride.. get a McLaren.. with a great crew Chief.. and enjoy my Friends .. 😉💯

Jotech rocks

Video is on point, thanks for putting it together! What are your thoughts on the MP4-12C?

breaking springs and windshield as well

I owned a 765 LT for 2 years with 5500 miles and have no problems so far. (Tuned DME) I have 1 problems with the aventador when it only 1000 miles (engine won’t start and has to towed to dealer) another problem with aventador is battery went out too fast when park at home. I have a 488 spider with 9000 miles and have no problem with it. IMO i still like the aventador the best. (1- doors goes up, 2- it shoot flames and loud with IPE exhaust, 3- it is 12 cylinders, 4- body shape looks more masculine like a fighter jet inside and out

Great video! I am in the market and trying to decide between the 650s spider or the 570s spider. Do you all have a recommendation on which way to go? I’m learning it may be more just personal choice… but curious if you had any insights. Enjoyed the video - thx!

Best in the bizz

What/where are those coolant hose located on the 570? I want to inspect mine.

used 570 or new 911?

Any 3rd party warranties you recommend?

One Comment--Used McLarens have substantially gone up in value as a result of the reduction in production at McLaren. The 570s has become a collectible as they are no longer in production. A used 2020 HDK 570s Spider will fetch around $235,000.

This was a good video! Where are you guys?

So basically McLaren makes a pretty shitty vehicle, but you guys can help fix their incompetence. Great job guys!

So the labor caused lots of $$$$$$ + parts too..yikes.. McLaren need to fix those for free.

"WE have solutions for all these problems " 😅😅🤣 TO be honest, I don't want these problems - to cost so much pain and money. THAT'S WHY I PASSED FOR MCLAREN AND BOUGHT A 2021 ACURA NSX. He didn't even mention the Cam Phasers that goes kaput at around 6,000 miles and in need to remove the engine to install the same low-quality cam phaser.

I'd like an updated ho...

Andrew Tate:What colour is your Bugatti? Me:Black I love the scooter it's so fast

Regarding the key fob... can't fix stupid. I guess common sense isn't so common.. lmao!! Great vid just can't believe owners are that dumb.

Not rich so I’ll stick to used Porsches, a LOT less risk even if slower.

I have a solution to all the McLaren issues.... just don't buy a McLaren... 😂🤣

Windscreens crack, doors stop working, electronics go very spazzy, some set on fire... It's a crap shoot buying a McLean let's be honest, and probably very good reason why their extended warranties are c. £3.5-4k / $5k +

Just bought a mclaren gt. so far so good,looks great drives great👍

Oo so I hear you want to buy a McLaren do you lol..😂

No, I don't want to buy a McLaren. I just tuned in to see what problems McLaren owners have, to make me feel better about my AMC Pacer.

All these problems are just poor engineering.
