2010 LONDON TAXIS INT FX42.5L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable and consistently clean roadworthiness record across all five documented MOT tests. The most recent examination, conducted on 5 September 2025 at 684 miles, passed with zero defects, advisories, or warnings. This outcome mirrors every prior result, indicating no recurring mechanical faults or emerging structural deterioration have been flagged by DVSA testers over the past seven years. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, with no evidence of worsening or intermittent issues. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2010 vehicle, averaging roughly 43 miles per year over sixteen years. The recorded distance grew by just one mile between the January 2019 test at 262 miles and the June 2021 test at 263 miles, suggesting the vehicle stood stationary for extended periods. A more noticeable increase of 70 miles occurred between June 2021 and August 2022, followed by a further 70-mile rise to 639 miles by July 2024, then a modest 45-mile gain to 684 miles by September 2025. The data is sparse in terms of service history between tests, but the MOT record itself shows no mechanical or structural failures at any point. Despite the clean MOT results, a buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person with particular attention to components that degrade with age and inactivity rather than mileage. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers may have deteriorated from prolonged standing or infrequent use, even if no faults were visible at the last test. Brake calipers, discs, and handbrake cables should be checked for seizure or corrosion, as vehicles covering very low annual mileages are prone to binding brakes and surface rust that MOT testers may not always flag unless performance is significantly compromised. Tyres must be examined for sidewall cracking and date codes, since tread depth can remain adequate while rubber perishes over time. The exhaust system, fuel lines, and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, particularly if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions between uses.
