2013 LML Star Deluxe 0.1L Petrol · AU13 AVO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-05-12 at 8,762 miles confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This clean history across three consecutive tests—2023-12-05, 2022-11-18, and now 2025-05-12—indicates a stable maintenance pattern without recurring failures. The absence of advisories or minor faults suggests the vehicle has been kept in a state of basic compliance, though the low mileage means wear indicators like brake pads or suspension bushes may not yet show significant degradation. The most recent test was conducted just over two years ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, but given the vehicle’s age, a pre-purchase inspection is essential to verify components not subject to MOT scrutiny, such as internal suspension wear or corrosion. The recorded mileage of 8,762 miles over nearly 13 years—roughly 674 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either very light use or prolonged periods of storage. There are no gaps in the MOT history that would imply extended off-roadworthiness, as all tests were conducted within the 12-month window. However, the stagnant mileage raises questions about how the vehicle has been stored, particularly regarding exposure to moisture, which could accelerate corrosion in underbody components, wheel arches, or suspension mounts. The lack of mileage also means consumables like brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades may have been replaced infrequently, even if not yet at failure point. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, including coil springs, bushes, and dampers, for signs of fatigue or corrosion—common issues in low-mileage vehicles left standing for years. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as the MOT does not test for hidden issues like internal caliper seizing. Underbody inspection is critical to assess structural integrity, particularly around the sills, subframe, and exhaust system, where rust can compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. Tyre tread depth, while not a concern here, should still be verified, as the lack of recent mileage might mean they have not been rotated or replaced as recommended. Finally, check for service records beyond MOTs, as the absence of maintenance logs could indicate deferred upkeep on non-MOT items like timing belts or differential fluid.
