2012 London Taxis INT TX4 2.5L Diesel · LP61 VVT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean pass record across its most recent MOT inspections. The latest test on 28 August 2025 at 212,487 miles resulted in no defects, mirroring the outcomes of the previous four annual tests. This consistency suggests a proactive approach to maintenance where mechanical issues are likely addressed before they result in a failure during the official DVSA examination. The mileage data reveals high-intensity usage consistent with a professional London taxi application. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the vehicle covered 36,193 miles in a single year, representing an extreme rate of accumulation. However, there is a significant discrepancy between the March 2024 reading of 320,530 miles and the August 2025 reading of 212,487 miles, indicating a potential recording error or an odometer rollback. The total distance of over 212,000 miles across 14 years places immense stress on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension geometry. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a prospective buyer must focus on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. The heavy duty cycle of a TX4 necessitates a thorough inspection of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue. The brakes require checking for binding calipers and thin discs, as frequent stop-start accelerates component degradation. Given the mileage, verifying the structural integrity of the chassis for hidden corrosion is also essential to ensure the vehicle remains sound for continued use.
