Used Buying Guide
Buying a Used McLaren Artura
What to look for — and what to avoid — when buying this car on the used market.
What to look for
- Post-2023 build cars have resolved the majority of early reliability issues — seek these out
- Spider body style is rarer and commands a premium — both are appreciating
- McLaren Qualified programme offers warranty and inspection on approved used cars
- Low-mileage examples are increasingly rare — the car is being used as intended
- Track Pack specification adds carbon ceramic brakes and track-focused settings
Watch-outs
- Early Artura (2022–early 2023) had significant reliability issues — avoid these build dates
- Check for any software updates — McLaren issued multiple updates to resolve early issues
- Hybrid battery health check is essential — request a dealer inspection before purchase
- Limited McLaren dealer network means servicing can be inconvenient outside major cities
- Parts availability and lead times can be long — factor into ownership decision
Our Verdict
The Artura Spider represents McLaren's transition to hybrid power, and it's a compelling first effort. The twin-turbo V6 and electric motor combination produces 700bhp, the carbon fibre tub keeps weight in check, and the folding hardtop adds drama. Reliability concerns from early cars have been largely resolved.
