2013 LML Star Deluxe 0.1L Petrol · AE13 ADU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-03-13 confirms it passed with no defects, though it had previously failed just one day earlier at 6 miles—a highly irregular result given the negligible mileage. The last substantive test in August 2024 at 11,363 miles also passed without issues, and the February 2023 tests at 11,300 miles (one pass, one fail) suggest no recurring mechanical failures were logged. However, the near-consecutive pass/fail in early 2026, combined with the vehicle’s extreme low mileage, raises questions about whether the testers overlooked critical items or if the vehicle was simply not driven between tests. There is no evidence of worsening structural or drivetrain issues, but the lack of movement between tests complicates assessing genuine wear. The recorded mileage of just 13 miles today, with the last significant movement at 11,363 miles in August 2024, indicates the vehicle has been stationary for nearly two years. This is highly unusual for a car of this age and suggests prolonged storage rather than regular use. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests—where mileage only increased by 63 miles over 16 months—further supports this pattern. Such inactivity can accelerate deterioration in fluids, tyres, and suspension components, even if no faults were formally recorded. Given the vehicle’s lack of movement, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of tyre condition, tread depth, and potential flat-spotting from prolonged immobility. The suspension bushes and coil springs, while not explicitly failed, may have degraded due to disuse, and binding calipers or corroded brake discs could develop if the vehicle was left without movement. Structural integrity should also be checked for corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as rust can propagate silently when a car is not driven. The lack of recent use means consumables like wiper blades and fluid levels may require attention, but the absence of recorded MOT failures suggests no catastrophic mechanical failures have occurred.
