2023 Levc TX 1.5L Hybrid electric · LS23 FUD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of accelerated wear consistent with heavy usage. The most recent test in February 2026 at 77,002 miles showed a pass despite the offside front and offside rear tyres reaching the legal limit and exhibiting uneven shoulder wear. This suggests that while the vehicle meets minimum safety standards, consumable components are being run to the point of failure rather than being replaced preemptively based on a rigorous maintenance schedule. At 77,002 miles in just three years, this LEVC averages over 25,000 miles per annum, which significantly exceeds the national average for a passenger vehicle. The high intensity of use is evident in the rapid progression between tests; for instance, the car covered 11,770 miles in the five months between the September 2025 and the February 2026 inspections. Such rapid mileage accumulation puts considerable stress on the suspension geometry and drivetrain components, which is reflected in the recurring mechanical-related advisories throughout the record. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front suspension and steering assembly. The March 2025 test at 51,390 miles flagged worn bushes on both front lower suspension arms, and the October 2024 test noted oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. A buyer should check for excessive play in the ball joints and signs of further shock leakage, as these issues often progress toward total failure. The uneven tyre wear noted in the February 2026 report also indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension components that require immediate attention to prevent premature degradation of future tyres.
