2019 Levc TX 1.5L Hybrid electric · LR69 WRT

The most recent DVSA MOT test, conducted on 24 December 2025, resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that on the day of inspection the vehicle met the statutory roadworthiness requirements. The preceding tests in 2025 and earlier in 2024 also returned clean passes, suggesting that the maintenance trajectory is broadly stable. However, it is worth noting that a prior test on 30 December 2024 was recorded as a failure with no defects listed against it, which likely indicates an administrative or retest sequence rather than a mechanical defect, but it does introduce a small element of irregularity in the test pattern that a buyer should query with the seller to confirm the circumstances. Overall, the absence of recurring advisories across the recent tests is a reassuring sign of consistent upkeep, although clean MOT records alone do not guarantee the absence of developing wear items. With 145,989 miles recorded on a 2019 LEVC TX, the vehicle is averaging around 20,856 miles per year, which is considerably higher than typical private-car usage and more in line with intensive commercial or taxi operation. This aligns with the LEVC TX's design purpose, as it is predominantly used as a London taxi, and such sustained high mileage will accelerate wear on consumables, braking components, suspension linkages, drivetrain bearings, and electrical ancillaries. A buyer should interpret the MOT history in this context: while there are no recorded advisories, the high annual mileage means that even components which passed without comment may be approaching their service limits, particularly given the heavy stop-start urban duty cycle that this model endures. Given the clean defect record but the high mileage and operational profile, a prospective buyer should focus inspection efforts on age- and wear-related items that may not yet have triggered an MOT advisory. The tyres should be examined closely for tread depth across the full width, as well as for signs of uneven wear which may point to tracking or suspension geometry issues; given the urban taxi use, inner shoulder wear from kerbing is common. Brake discs and pads warrant a physical check at all four corners, as even if within MOT limits, they may be close to requiring replacement under high-mileage operation, and the buyer should listen for any binding or dragging caliper symptoms during a test drive. The 12V auxiliary battery, cabin filter condition, and general condition of high-voltage charging components (if accessible for visual inspection) should also be reviewed, as these are not covered by MOT testing. Finally, attention should be paid to the vehicle's age-related deterioration regardless of mileage accumulation. Brake fluid and coolant should be confirmed as recently serviced to schedule, as these degrade on a calendar basis rather than purely by use, and the LEVC TX's hybrid system cooling circuit in particular should be checked for leaks and fluid condition. Exhaust mounting rubbers, underbody protection, and suspension bushes including those on the rear beam and trailing arms should be inspected for perishing or cracking from age, especially given the seven-year service life. On a test drive, the buyer should listen for any clonks or knocks over speed humps and uneven surfaces, observe for any pulling under braking which may indicate warped discs, and confirm smooth engagement of the electric drive system without warning lights. Verifying the service book stamps and any manufacturer or specialist taxi maintenance records will be essential to corroborate the mileage-related wear against documented upkeep.
