Looking at a London Taxis INT. TX4?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular London Taxis INT. TX4 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the London Taxis INT. TX4 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 15,426 in 2017 Q3 and stand at 5,912 in 2026 Q1, down 62%. That is down 44% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 3,600 are declared SORN — 1 in 3 of the 9,512 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Before you buy

  • Ask why it was off the road — Of the 9,512 London Taxis INT. TX4 vehicles still on the DVLA record, 1 in 3 is SORN (3,600 at 2026 Q1). A car that has been laid up needs a closer look at brakes, tyres and the MOT history.
  • Budget for a shrinking fleet — Licensed numbers are down 62% from the 2017 Q3 peak of 15,426. Fewer cars on the road usually means fewer donor parts and fewer specialists.
  • Check the actual London Taxis INT. TX4 — These figures describe the model group. Enter the registration for that vehicle's free MOT, tax and mileage record before you pay a deposit.
