2009 LML Star Deluxe 0.1L Petrol · WX09 OEO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend across its most recent inspections. The latest MOT conducted in April 2026 at 1,619 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects. This follows a minor failure in 2025 where the vehicle failed solely due to a non-functional dipped-beam headlamp, which was rectified immediately to allow a pass on the same day. The mileage-age profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging fewer than 95 miles per year. There are significant temporal gaps between tests, such as the five-year interval between the 2017 and 2022 inspections, and the three-year gap between 2022 and 2025. These patterns suggest the vehicle spends long periods in storage rather than undergoing regular use. While this limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it introduces specific risks related to age-related degradation that are not captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on components that suffer through long-term standing rather than mechanical friction. The tester should check for perished rubber elements including tyre sidewalls, fuel lines, and seized brake calipers which often bind from lack of movement. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sidecar attachment points is essential, as the MOT history only shows a missing side light advisory noted in 2017. Fluids should also be inspected for moisture contamination or degradation resulting from the documented periods of inactivity.
