Expert verdict
Identification: 16.3× the national share
Identification accounts for 28.6% of everything recorded on the 2019 McLaren Senna V8, against 1.8% nationally — 26.8 points above. Tyres are still the single largest share at 42.9%, but at 19.8% nationally that one is ordinary. A missing or unreadable VIN plate is an administrative failure — usually easy to fix, but it stops the test.
- Beats its own age and mileage. Once you allow for how old and how far these cars have been driven, the expected pass rate is 89.5% and this one manages 100.0% — 10.5 points ahead of what its age and mileage predict.
- When it fails, it costs. Only 0% of this model’s typical repairs come in under £30 in parts — the failures here tend to be the kind that need a garage rather than a bulb.
