2014 London Taxis INT TX4 Style 2.5L Diesel · T5 XYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 26 March 2026 at 408,555 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last eighteen months, suggesting the vehicle is being maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements despite its heavy usage. The mileage is exceptionally high for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging over 34,000 miles per year. Between 22 March 2025 and 26 March 2026, the odometer increased by 45,830 miles. This rapid accumulation is typical for a London Taxi but places significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis. The lack of recorded defects across these high-mileage intervals indicates a rigorous or professional maintenance regime. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that the MOT test may not fully quantify. Given the 408,555 mile total, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and engine mounts requires close scrutiny. While the MOT record is clean, the sheer volume of miles makes the vehicle prone to gradual fatigue in the structural integrity of the chassis and potential corrosion in hidden areas. Check for any signs of oil leaks or excessive play in the steering rack. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs or binding calipers is positive, but the high mileage suggests consumables will require frequent replacement. Verify the service history to ensure the timing belt and water pump have been changed in line with the manufacturer's intervals relative to this extreme mileage.
