2010 London Taxis INT TX4 2.5L Diesel · LS60 YMP

The vehicle presents a consistent history of passing inspections despite its high-use profile. The most recent test conducted in November 2022 at 368,863 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the taxi met the minimum roadworthiness standards at that time. However, the record shows a significant gap in testing spanning nearly four years up to the current date of June 2026. This lapse in annual certification is a concern as the current state of critical components, such as braking efficiency and structural integrity, remains unverified despite the high number of miles covered. With a recorded mileage of 368,863 miles over 16 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 23,000 miles annually. This high intensity of operation is typical for a London taxi but places extreme stress on the suspension bushings, drivetrain, and cooling components. Between April 2021 and November 2022, the vehicle covered over 36,000 miles, which suggests rapid wear on consumable items like tyres, brake discs, and exhaust. The failure recorded in October 2021 at 343,531 miles, followed immediately by a pass on the same day, indicates a specific mechanical or emissions fault that was rectified prior to the retest. The lack of MOT data since late 2022 means the vehicle has potentially been operated without a formal safety check for over three years. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection for chassis corrosion and suspension arm wear, which are common failure points on high-mile TX4 models. While the 2022 record was clean, the sheer mileage and the elapsed time significantly increase the likelihood of unaddressed mechanical fatigue. A thorough evaluation of the brake calipers and suspension geometry is essential to ensure the high-frequency use has not compromised the structural safety of the vehicle.
