2021 Levc TX 1.5L Hybrid electric (clean) · LS71 BYK

With an odometer reading of 70,170 miles across four recorded MOT tests, this 2021 LEVC TX presents a high-usage profile, and its roadworthiness record reflects the wear typically associated with that kind of accumulation. The most recent examination on 10 July 2026 returned a pass alongside a single advisory noting wear on the rear brake disc, a finding that aligns logically with the vehicle's age and mileage. The broader test history is mixed but informative: a clean pass in September 2024 was followed in July 2025 by another pass that flagged wear to both nearside and offside front lower suspension arm pins or bushes, and then a same-day PRS failure in September 2025 for a missing nearside rear reflector. A subsequent test on 17 September 2025 passed with no defects, indicating the reflector was rectified promptly. The suspension advisories are particularly noteworthy because they appeared on both sides simultaneously, suggesting a systemic wear pattern rather than an isolated component failure, and any progression of that wear is the primary mechanical risk going forward. The annual mileage of roughly 14,034 miles places this TX firmly in high-utilisation territory for a vehicle of its age, a usage pattern that accelerates wear on the consumables and load-bearing components that dominate the MOT record. The brake disc advisory and the front suspension bush wear are both consistent with a chassis that has covered substantial distance, particularly given the TX's role as a commercial passenger vehicle operating in stop-start urban conditions. Four tests over five years is a reasonable cadence, and the absence of significant testing gaps means there is no evidence of the vehicle being laid up for extended periods, which in turn means there is no concern regarding standing-start deterioration of fuel, brake fluid, or drivetrain seals. The mileage progression between tests appears steady, and no anomalies such as a sudden jump or a missing odometer reading are apparent from the data supplied, which allows the wear pattern to be read straightforwardly as accumulation-driven rather than event-driven. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry referenced in the 2025 advisories, specifically the lower arm pins and bushes on both sides. During a road test, listen for clonking or knocking noises from the front end when traversing speed humps, uneven road surfaces, or potholes, and feel for any vagueness or delay in the steering response when turning at low speed, as worn bushes can introduce slop that dulls turn-in precision. With the engine running and the vehicle stationary, a second person should attempt to rock each front wheel vertically and laterally to detect play at the bush interface, and the test should be repeated under load by braking firmly from speed to load the front suspension and reveal any knocking that might not be evident at rest. Any return of steering vibration or wander after braking could indicate the suspension joints have worn beyond the advisory threshold since the last test. The rear brake disc advisory warrants direct attention given the high annual mileage, and the buyer should carry out a loaded brake test from at least 40 mph to a firm stop, noting any judder through the pedal or steering column, which would suggest the disc has developed thickness variation or runout due to wear. A visual check behind the wheel should confirm adequate remaining pad material and verify that the disc surface is free of deep lipping, scoring, or obvious discolouration from overheating. Given that both front suspension bushes were flagged on the same test, a thorough inspection of the rear suspension for similar wear should be considered, as the same mileage and operating environment that wore the front components will have acted on the rear. Finally, confirm that the nearside rear reflector has been correctly refitted and remains secure, as its previous absence resulted in a same-day PRS failure, and check that all other lighting and reflective equipment is present and functional to avoid a repeat of that straightforward but technically failing defect.
