2023 Levc TX 1.5L Hybrid electric · LE73 AYB

The LEVC TX presented for evaluation holds a current valid pass certificate dated 13 April 2026 with no advisories or defects recorded against the vehicle. Reviewing the full DVSA history, the platform has accumulated six consecutive pass certificates spanning from September 2024 through to April 2026, with all tests returning entirely clean sheets. The absence of any advisories, monitoring items, or component failures across this period is notable and suggests that, from a statutory roadworthiness perspective, the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard. The overall trend is therefore stable and positive, with no evidence of emerging or recurrent mechanical concerns flagged by the official testing regime. For a three-year-old commercial passenger vehicle, this presents a reassuring maintenance picture prior to physical inspection. With 28,751 miles recorded over approximately three years of service, the vehicle is averaging around 9,584 miles annually, which is broadly typical for a London taxi or private hire application. This mileage level is consistent with steady operational use rather than long periods of standing or excessive high-mileage accumulation, meaning wear on major mechanical components such as the drivetrain, suspension, and braking system is likely proportionate to its age rather than artificially accelerated. The gap between the September 2024 and November 2024 tests, and similarly between October 2025 and November 2025, suggests the operator has maintained timely annual testing without significant missed intervals, which aligns with continuous use. There is no evidence of large unexplained mileage jumps that would indicate a possible odometer discrepancy, though a physical verification of the odometer reading against the service documentation would be advisable. Given the clean MOT history and the absence of any advisories, prospective buyers should focus on age- and usage-related deterioration that may not yet have reached the threshold for an MOT failure but could warrant attention. Tyre condition should be assessed carefully, particularly the sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking from age, as well as uneven tread wear patterns that might indicate alignment or suspension issues not yet severe enough to fail. The condition of the brake discs should be examined for any lipping or corrosion around the edges, which can suggest binding calipers or prolonged light use that causes surface oxidation rather than active wear. A thorough test drive should include firm brake application from speed to check for any shudder or pull, as well as listening for suspension knocks over uneven surfaces that could indicate worn bushes, drop links, or coil springs, none of which would necessarily appear on a clean MOT unless they had deteriorated significantly. Additional checks should include the 12V auxiliary battery health, as these can degrade from frequent short cycles or prolonged standing, and verification that the charging system is operating correctly given the electrified nature of the TX platform. Brake fluid, coolant, and any drivetrain or reduction gear oils should be inspected for age-related degradation, as fluids deteriorate on a calendar basis regardless of mileage and a full service history with documented fluid changes would provide confidence. Inspect the underside of the vehicle for any signs of fluid weeping from the power electronics or rear drive unit, and check the condition of the charging port and high-voltage cabling for any damage or corrosion. Finally, a review of the service book stamps or digital service records confirming that manufacturer-recommended intervals have been observed would provide the strongest assurance that the vehicle has been cared for beyond merely passing its annual statutory inspection.
