2016 London Taxis INT TX4 2.8L Diesel · LS66 WJV

The vehicle presents a clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by the most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 235,890 miles. This pass was achieved without any recorded defects or advisories, suggesting that the vehicle has been kept in a consistent state of roadworthiness through its recent inspections. The lack of recurring issues across the last several years indicates a proactive approach to passing the annual test. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high, reflecting a heavy-duty usage pattern consistent with a London taxi. The vehicle has covered 21,275 miles between the May 2025 test at 214,618 miles and the November 2025 test at 235,890 miles. This rapid accumulation, averaging over 20,000 miles per year, places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. While the MOT records show no failures, the high mileage suggests the vehicle has been in near-constant operation. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, specifically focusing on coil springs, shock absorbers, and various suspension bushes. Given the high mileage and the urban environment typical for this vehicle, these components are likely nearing the end of their service life despite the clean MOT record. The tester should also examine the underside for signs of structural corrosion and check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding. The heavy usage profile necessitates a close look at the engine bay and drivetrain for any signs of oil leaks or fluid degradation. While the MOT history is technically flawless, it only covers safety-critical items and does not account for general mechanical wear or service intervals. A comprehensive mechanical inspection is required to ensure the vehicle's reliability matches its clean regulatory record.
