Range-extender condition
The 1.5L petrol generator that recharges the battery on long shifts. Service history on the range-extender matters, we want to see the routine intervals.
LEVC TX specialist
Sell my LEVC TX. Niche network, real numbers.
The range-extended electric London black cab. Most generalist buyers don't have the licensed-Hackney resale network and either decline or lowball. We sell to active Hackney fleet operators, real cab-trade prices.
What we look for
Four things that shape your TX offer.
Battery state-of-health
TX battery degradation is gentler than pure-EV thanks to the range-extender, but 5+ year cabs benefit from a recent battery health check. Bring the report if you have one.
TfL plate fitment
Live TfL Hackney plate adds substantial value, the licensed-Hackney resale network pays for plate-ready vehicles. Expired plates still saleable; we plate-strip free.
Mileage in context
TX cabs typically reach 250,000+ miles in working London Hackney service. Algorithmic buyers cap; we price on body + range-extender + battery + plate combined.
Common questions
TX-specific FAQs.
Why do I need a specialist buyer for an LEVC TX?+
The TX is a niche vehicle. Generalist used-car buyers don't have the dealer network to re-sell to licensed Hackney trade, they'll either decline or lowball heavily. We have direct relationships with London Hackney fleet operators who actively look for TX stock.
Do you buy older TX4 or TXII Hackneys too?+
Yes. Pre-LEVC TX4 (2007-17) and TXII (1997-06) both still trade actively, there's a continental-export market plus UK private buyers who want classic London cab styling. Smaller offer than a modern TX but a real number, not a scrap quote.
What if my TX has a battery issue?+
We can still buy. A degraded battery on a TX is a known cost to refurbish, we'll price it in honestly upfront rather than discover it at collection. Bring any diagnostic reports you have, the more we know on day one, the firmer the offer.
Is the plate fee refundable when I sell?+
TfL plate fees are non-transferable. The cab keeps the plate until you formally surrender it, or we plate-strip on your behalf. The value of a live-plate TX vs an unplated TX is the licensed-trade premium, typically £2,000-£4,000 depending on remaining plate validity.
