Our Verdict

Exercise caution due to the extremely hi

Given the recorded mileage of 242,072, a comprehensive service history is essential to understand the maintenance of the 2.5L diesel engine. Pay close attention to the recurring oil leak advisories; specifically, the engine sump and steering box leaks noted in the most recent December 2024 test.

Potential buyers should negotiate based on the likely need for suspension bush replacements and the sealing of these leaks. Ensure that any repairs following the April 2024 MOT failure were carried out to a professional standard.

As a 2.5L diesel, fuel economy will be modest, particularly if the vehicle continues to be used in urban environments. Maintenance costs for TX4s can be higher than standard passenger cars due to their specialized chassis and heavy-duty components.

Annual costs will be influenced by the vehicle's commercial nature, including its specific tax band and insurance group. Typical maintenance for a vehicle of this mileage is expected to be higher than average to keep it roadworthy.

Inspect the underside for the oil leaks mentioned in the December 2024 MOT, specifically focusing on the engine sump and the offside front steering box. Check the front shock absorber bushes on both the nearside and offside, as these have been flagged as worn in multiple recent tests.

Additionally, verify that all lighting systems are fully operational and the windscreen washer is functioning correctly, following the failure for headlamps, stop lamps, and washer liquid in April 2024.

This 2013 black London Taxis TX4 has recorded 242,072 miles as of December 2024. The MOT history shows a failure in April 2024 related to lighting and washer fluid, alongside recurring advisories for oil leaks and worn suspension bushes. It represents a very high-mileage example of a professional vehicle.

No aggregate data available for the London Taxis TX4, but this specific vehicle has remained operational despite very high mileage.
