2014 London Taxis INT TX4 2.5L Diesel · AB64 CAB

The vehicle presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes with zero defects recorded across the last three years. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 232,190 miles yielded a completely clean bill of health, indicating that all major structural and mechanical systems currently meet the required DVSA roadworthiness standards. This unblemished record suggests a pattern of proactive upkeep rather than reactive repairs, which is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this type and mileage. Accumulating 232,190 miles over roughly twelve years equates to an annual average of approximately 19,349 miles, a figure that sits at the higher end of typical usage. The data reveals a remarkably steady rate of accumulation rather than erratic spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the tests on 8 August 2023 at 179,712 miles and 6 February 2025 at 218,829 miles, the taxi covered roughly 13,000 miles every six months. This consistent high-intensity usage profile aligns with the operational demands of a London taxi, meaning the drivetrain and chassis have endured continuous, heavy-duty cycles rather than gentle commuting. Despite the flawless MOT record, the sheer mileage demands a rigorous physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer must closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as continuous heavy loading accelerates the deterioration of these parts, leading to premature failure even if they passed the last test. Brake discs and calipers require scrutiny for uneven wear and binding, common issues in stop-start urban driving. Structural integrity warrants the most rigorous assessment. High-mileage TX4 models are susceptible to corrosion on the chassis rails, outriggers, and suspension mounting points. Inspect the underseal for cracking or flaking, which traps moisture against the metal. While the current MOT record shows no advisories, the cumulative stress of 232,000 miles means the next failure point is likely to manifest in these heavily loaded structural and suspension components rather than the primary engine or transmission systems.
