London Taxis Int Tx4 Silver Auto (2007)
2007 London Taxis Int Tx4 Silver Auto
CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2007 London Taxis Int Tx4 Silver Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The TX4's 54.2% first-time pass rate is well below the UK average of 80%, which is a red flag for reliability—one in two fails its MOT on the first attempt. With 22.1% of vehicles having recorded dangerous defects, buyers should expect serious issues like brake or steering failures to be a genuine risk rather than a rarity.
At 198,715 miles average, these cabs have lived hard lives as commercial vehicles, and it shows: the 3.21 average failures per test reflect wear across multiple systems, while the 11.1 advisories suggest creeping deterioration is the norm. If you're considering one, budget for substantial repairs and have a trusted mechanic inspect the brakes, suspension, and exhaust thoroughly before purchase.
