No car reaches our forecourt until it's been checked, inspected and prepared by our own team in Upminster. Here's exactly what happens between us buying a car and you driving it away.
Every vehicle follows the same journey before it's offered for sale — no shortcuts, whether it's a city runaround or a premium SUV.
We buy carefully — the right age, mileage, history and specification. Every car is chosen because we'd be happy to sell it to our own family, not just to fill the forecourt.
Before anything else, each car is run through a full HPI check — confirming it's not recorded as stolen, written off or subject to outstanding finance. We verify the mileage against its history so you know it's genuine.
HPI clear & mileage verified
Our in-house technicians work through a 75-point checklist — engine and drivetrain, brakes, steering and suspension, electrics, tyres, lights, air-con, bodywork and a full road test. Anything that isn't right is put right before the car goes on sale.
In-house technicians
Servicing, fresh oil and filters, brakes, tyres and any remedial work — carried out in our own workshop using quality parts. We'd rather spend the time and get it right than send a car out with jobs left to do.
Genuine & quality parts
Cars are supplied with a fresh MOT where needed, so you set off with the maximum time on the clock and complete peace of mind that it's road-legal and safe.
Every used electric car is independently tested for battery state-of-health before sale, so you can buy with confidence on range and long-term reliability. The certificate is available to view on the car's page.
Independently certified
A thorough valet inside and out — machined and finished so the car looks its absolute best the moment you see it, ready to drive away.
Only once a car is fully prepared do we photograph it — a full set of images inside and out, so what you see online is the actual car, ready to go, not a stock photo.
Every car is supplied with a comprehensive warranty and 12 months' AA breakdown cover as standard — extendable to suit you. That's the LMC promise: prepared properly, then backed properly.
Warranty + 12 months AA
Want to keep it looking showroom-fresh for longer? We can add GardX advanced paint and interior protection as an optional treatment — sealing and shielding your car against everyday wear, inside and out. Just ask when you buy.
Preparation is only half the story — here's the reassurance that comes as standard with every car we sell.
Comprehensive cover as standard, extendable to 1, 2 or 3 years across a nationwide garage network.
Nationwide breakdown assistance included with every car — reassurance from the moment you drive away.
Provenance and mileage independently verified, so there are no nasty surprises down the line.
Serviced, checked and road-tested in our own Upminster workshop before it's offered for sale.
Can't get to us? We deliver right across the country, straight to your door.
Flexible PCP and HP from a panel of lenders, with a soft-search decision that won't affect your credit score.
On top of the standard 75-point inspection, every used EV we sell is independently battery-health tested and given a state-of-health score before it goes on sale — because on an electric car, the battery is the single most important thing to get right. You'll find the figure and the certificate on each electric car's page.
