2019 Levc TX 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LL69 KKV

The most recent MOT on 6 May 2026 was passed, with only an advisory noting that the nearside rear tyre is approaching the legal tread limit and shows wear on both inner and outer edges. Earlier that year the vehicle recorded a major failure for excessive wear on both front suspension arm pins or bushes and dangerous tread loss on the front tyres, which appears to have been rectified before the subsequent pass. Apart from a steering‑rack inner joint play advisory in November 2023 and a nail‑in‑tyre note in the same period, the MOT record shows a generally improving trend after the 2025 failure, suggesting that recent remedial work has stabilised the key safety items. At 142,085 miles over roughly seven years the vehicle averages about 20,300 miles per annum, considerably above the typical usage for a private‑owner EV and more in line with a high‑kilometre taxi operation. This level of mileage accelerates wear on tyres, suspension bushings, brake components and the high‑voltage battery’s charge‑cycle life. The mileage pattern also implies limited periods of idle storage, reducing the risk of calendar‑related degradation but increasing the importance of checking wear‑related items that are mileage‑driven. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the front suspension arm bushes and pins that were flagged as excessively worn in 2025. Verify that they have been replaced with correct OEM parts and inspect for any residual play by applying firm pressure to the wheel hub while the vehicle is on the lift; a noticeable clunk or movement indicates lingering wear. The steering rack inner joint advisory from 2023 warrants a road‑test check for any looseness or uneven feedback when turning at low speed and under load. All four tyres must be examined for tread depth, sidewall cracking and uneven wear patterns that could point to mis‑alignment or worn suspension components. Brake discs and pads should be inspected for glazing, scoring or uneven thickness, and a test‑drive brake application should be free of shudder or pulsation, especially given the vehicle’s high mileage. Given the vehicle’s electric drivetrain, a comprehensive battery health check is essential; request a recent high‑voltage battery capacity test and confirm the status of the warranty, as the cumulative charge cycles at this mileage may have reduced usable capacity. Inspect the high‑voltage cable harnesses and cooling system for corrosion, leaks or coolant degradation, and ensure the 12 V auxiliary battery is still within service limits. Examine the under‑body for any rust, particularly around the suspension mounting points, and confirm that brake fluid, coolant and inverter coolant have been replaced at the manufacturer‑recommended intervals. A full service history, including any software updates to the motor controller, will give further confidence in the vehicle’s long‑term reliability.
