Still has real value
An aged-out cab is not scrap. There is an active export market and an out-of-London licensing market where age limits differ. We price for those routes, not a scrap quote.
Aged-out taxi buyer
Cab aged out? It's still worth real money.
When your London cab reaches the TfL age limit it leaves licensed service, but it is not scrap. There is an active export and out-of-London market. We buy aged-out TX4, LEVC, Vito and executive cabs, handle the de-licensing, and pay same day.
What we look for
Four things that shape an aged-out cab offer.
Plate and de-licensing
When a cab leaves London service the plate is surrendered. We handle the plate-strip free of charge and factor the de-licensed value into the offer.
Condition over age
A well-maintained TX4 at the age limit is worth more than its year suggests. Service history, body condition and, for an LEVC, battery health shape the number more than age alone.
We buy any aged-out type
TX4, TXII, older LEVC TX, the Vito taxi, Peugeot E7 and executive saloons that have reached their private-hire limit. Licensed, lapsed or de-licensed.
Common questions
Aged-out taxi FAQs.
My cab has reached the TfL age limit, is it just worth scrap now?+
No. Licensed London Hackney carriages have a 15-year age limit (always confirm the current rule with TfL), but an aged-out cab still has real value in the export market and in licensing areas outside London where limits differ. We price for those routes, so you get a proper offer rather than a scrap quote.
Do you handle the de-licensing and plate surrender?+
Yes. We plate-strip free of charge and take care of the paperwork when a cab leaves London service. The value of a de-licensed cab is built into the offer.
Which aged-out vehicles do you buy?+
TX4, TXII, older LEVC TX, the Vito taxi, Peugeot E7 and executive saloons that have hit their private-hire limit. Licensed, lapsed or fully de-licensed.
How fast can you collect an aged-out cab?+
Free UK collection, usually within a few days of you accepting the offer. Same-day Faster Payment once we have inspected the vehicle, before we take the keys.
