2009 Lml Star Deluxe

CarHunch analysed 331 real MOT records for the 2009 Lml Star Deluxe. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2009 LML Star Deluxe has a 78% first-time pass rate, slightly below the UK average of 80%, suggesting these scooters are marginally more prone to MOT issues than typical vehicles. With a dangerous defect rate of 13.6%, they're not unduly hazardous, though that's worth noting if you're buying used.

These machines have median mileage of just 4,354 miles despite being 15 years old, indicating many have been stored or rarely used—which means the average 1.26 failures per test likely reflect age-related wear rather than hard use. Before purchasing, check the service history carefully and budget for brake and electrical work, as the 3.1 average advisories per vehicle suggest these areas need regular attention.

What to check before buying a 2009 Lml Star Deluxe

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
