2017 London Taxis INT TX4 2.8L Diesel · LR17 YVA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 4 2026 at 204,583 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern of compliance, as the vehicle consistently meets minimum standards shortly after initial test failures. While the record shows instances of failure immediately prior to passing, the lack of recorded defects or advisories on the passing certificates suggests that the core mechanical integrity remains sound despite the high operational stress. The mileage data reflects intensive commercial use, with the vehicle averaging approximately 22,731 miles per year over its nine-year lifespan. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 19,465 miles, indicating consistent and high-usage patterns typical of a London taxi. The short interval between February 2025 and March 2026 saw an additional 19,264 miles covered in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation of mileage places significant demand on the drivetrain, cooling system, and suspension components compared to a standard private vehicle. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system due to the accelerated wear associated with over 200,000 miles of urban driving. Check for excessive play in the control arm bushes and worn coil springs, which frequently degrade under constant stop-start-go cycles. Although the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, a close examination of the chassis for stress fractures around mounting points is essential to ensure the high-mileage has not compromised the structural integrity of the frame.
