2015 London Taxis INT TX4 2.5L Diesel · KD15 PDX

The 2015 London Taxi TX4 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 18 November 2025 at 263,790 miles. The absence of any recorded defects in the most recent test indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. While a failed test appears on the record for 19 May 2025 at 253,693 miles, the immediate retest on the same day passed without defects, suggesting a minor, swiftly rectified issue rather than a persistent mechanical fault. This pattern demonstrates a conscientious approach to rectifying faults promptly, leaving the vehicle in a sound roadworthy state as of late 2025. Accumulating 263,790 miles over eleven years equates to roughly 23,981 miles annually, a high figure that reflects intensive commercial use typical of a London taxi. The MOT records reveal consistent, rapid mileage accumulation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Between the May 2024 test at 232,213 miles and the November 2025 test at 263,790 miles, the taxi covered over 31,000 miles in approximately eighteen months. This steady, high-intensity usage places significant cumulative stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems, even if the MOT tests themselves have remained defect-free. Despite the clean MOT history, the sheer mileage demands a rigorous physical inspection focused on structural integrity and wear components. A buyer must closely examine the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion or cracking, as high-mileage TX4s frequently suffer from structural rust that may not always trigger an MOT failure until advanced. Inspect the condition of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and shock absorbers, which will have endured considerable fatigue. Brake discs and pads require measurement for wear, alongside checking for binding calipers, a common issue in stop-start taxi operations. The exhaust system and emissions hardware also warrant scrutiny to ensure the diesel particulate filter and catalytic converter remain efficient under such heavy use.
