Following its final race in Abu Dhabi, the MP4-30 took part in a series of tests organised by tyre supplier Pirelli to assess their planned allotment of tyre compounds for the season and to give teams the opportunity to acquaint themselves with the new compounds, including four different builds of the brand-new ultrasoft compound. Stoffel Vandoorne resumed testing duties for the team for the duration of the test, where he completed ninety-nine laps and set the fastest time of the test, three tenths of a second faster than the rest of the field and four tenths faster than the fastest time set during the race. The MP4-30 made one final appearance before being retired from competition, taking part in wet tyre tests at the Circuit Paul Ricard in preparation for the 2016 season. The car was subsequently replaced by the McLaren MP4-31.
