2019 Levc TX 1.5L Hybrid electric · LL19 FFB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 May 2026 at 138,687 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the significant mechanical issues identified in 2024. While the latest test is clean, the history of structural and mechanical advisories suggests that the previous owner addressed the steering and suspension concerns flagged in prior inspections. The mileage profile is high for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year. This indicates consistent heavy use, likely consistent with taxi or livery operations. A notable surge in mileage occurred between September 2022 and September 2023, where the vehicle covered 15,714 miles in just 12 months. This rate of accumulation places considerable stress on heavy-duty drivetrain components and suspension bushings, which aligns with the recurring wear patterns noted in the MOT history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front steering and suspension geometry. The March 2024 test flagged play in the steering rack inner joints on both the nearside and offside front, alongside oil misting on the shock absorbers. Although these were not noted in the 2026 test, the high mileage increases the likelihood that these components are nearing another service interval. Check for any lateral play in the steering wheel or visible leakage from the shock absorber seals. Furthermore, the recurring advisories for uneven tyre wear in 2022 and 2023 suggest a history of alignment issues or worn suspension components. Verify the current set of tyres for even wear across the inner and outer edges to ensure the geometry has been correctly corrected. Persistent uneven wear, if left unaddressed, will lead to premature failure of expensive tyres and further strain on the wheel assembly.
