2008 London Taxis INT TX4 2.5L Diesel · LP08 HKC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 27 June 2024 without any defects. The maintenance trend appears stable following a period of mechanical instability in mid-2023. While the 2023 test revealed several critical areas requiring attention, the subsequent clean pass in June 2024 indicates that the previous owner addressed the identified faults and maintained the vehicle to passing standards over the last year. Data regarding mileage accumulation is insufficient to perform a comparative analysis of the vehicle's usage relative to its age. There is a significant three-year gap between the May 2020 test and the July 2023 test, during which no mileage data was recorded. Without specific figures to bridge these intervals, it is impossible to determine if the vehicle has undergone high-mileage taxi work or light use typical of a London Taxi TX4. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system and steering geometry given the failures recorded in July 2023. The previous failure for an offside front service brake fluctuating and thin pads suggests a history of warped rotors or sticking caliper pistons that need verifying now. The damage to the nearside front steering linkage ball joint dust cover also highlights a need for a thorough check of the suspension components for play or grease leakage, ensuring the steering assembly has not degraded since the repair.
