Fifty years of motor-racing heritage has instilled in us the importance of qualifying – starting the race from the best possible position is the first step to winning. The ultimate qualifying lap utilises every last bit of performance potential from every individual component on the car. The same principle applies when a pre-owned McLaren goes through “qualifying” – every component is thoroughly checked to ensure that a Qualified pre-owned McLaren is in the best condition for its new owner.

Owning a McLaren is about driving. The minimum one year McLaren warranty provides the reassurance that you can continue to enjoy doing just that. The warranty included with a McLaren Qualified pre-owned car may be composed of the balance of the manufacturer's warranty (cars under two years old), a dedicated McLaren Qualified Warranty policy or a combination of both.

Key benefits of the McLaren Qualified Warranty policy:

• The warranty covers the cost of parts and labour for warrantable repairs carried out at McLaren Retailers & Service Centres
• Fully manufacturer-backed warranty offers unrivalled cover on all factory-fitted components, excluding failures related to wear and tear
• No claim limit3 or excess to pay when making a claim
• Valid at all McLaren Retailers & Service Centres in country of purchase
• Repairs carried out by fully trained technicians using McLaren genuine spare parts and equipment
• No hassle – McLaren Retailers & Service Centres will minimise your inconvenience during repairs and handle all of the administration on your behalf
• No mileage limit from warranty inception
• Transferable via private sale
• Upgradeable to two years of warranty

3 Total number of claims over the course of the policy is unlimited. While the cost of one claim can be up to the value of the vehicle at the time the policy was purchased, all claims must be under this total value (exceptions apply).

The same high standards that have informed every McLaren road car ever built continue to define every one of those pre-owned cars sold through the McLaren Qualified programme.

Representing one of the world's most technologically advanced car makers means our McLaren Retailers attract high calibre technicians, employing only those who share our tenacious appetite for detail. Passionate about their work, these skilled technicians put each car through a demanding McLaren multi-point inspection, replacing components and making adjustments as necessary to ensure that each car's new owner will enjoy the same incomparable driving experience as its first one did.

For them, ensuring that your pre-owned McLaren car is in “qualifying” condition is a matter of professional pride.

All McLaren Qualified cars are backed by a 12-month roadside assistance plan. As part of your handover pack, you will receive a personalised card including details that give you a direct line to the McLaren team should you require support (Roadside Assistance is not available in all markets).

In addition to the practical benefits outlined, McLaren Qualified welcomes you into the McLaren fold with regular McLaren owner publications and access to the ever-expanding McLaren events calendar. Events available to you could include McLaren driving experiences or visits to the McLaren Technology Centre and Production Centre.
