2007 LML Star 0.1L Petrol · FM56 YPT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 17 March 2026 confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects recorded, and the previous test in February 2022 also passed without fail. This establishes a stable maintenance trend over the past four years, though the gap between tests—just over four years—is unusually long for a vehicle of this age and low mileage. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in either test suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical failures, but the extended period since the last inspection raises questions about whether critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers have degraded beyond visual inspection. The recorded mileage of 658 miles over nearly 19 years—approximately 35 miles annually—indicates extremely light usage, which could mean the vehicle has spent prolonged periods stationary. This low mileage pattern is unusual for a car of this age and may imply neglect in basic upkeep, such as fluid changes or minor servicing. The lack of intermediate MOT tests between 2022 and 2026 also makes it difficult to assess whether any wear-and-tear issues developed during this time. Buyers should treat this as a red flag for potential hidden deterioration, particularly in components prone to static stress, such as suspension mounts or brake systems. Given the sparse MOT history, an in-person inspection should prioritise structural integrity, particularly for corrosion in wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles. The brakes, despite no recorded failures, warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or excessive corrosion on the discs—common issues in cars left unused for extended periods. Suspension components, including bushes and shock absorbers, should be checked for perishing or dryness, as these degrade even without mileage. Finally, the engine bay should be inspected for fluid leaks, battery condition, and general cleanliness, as stagnant fluids can cause premature failure in critical systems.
