Battery health
The high-voltage pack is the biggest value driver on an electric cab. We check battery health, not just range, so bring a recent report to firm up the offer.

The short answer
How much is my LEVC TX5 worth?
On the electric London cab, the high-voltage battery is the biggest single driver, so its state of health matters far more than headline range or the miles on the clock. A live TfL Hackney plate adds a real licensed-trade premium, though a surrendered or expired plate is fine. Build year sets the band: early 2018 to 2020 cars, the stronger mid-cycle 2020 to 2023, and current-spec 2023-on stock with remaining warranty. Documented servicing on the drivetrain and brakes counts too. A real valuer checks your reg by hand and sends a firm offer within 2 hours, priced straight into the active London Hackney resale network. Free UK collection, same-day payment, no buyer fees.
What we look for
Four things that shape your TX5 offer.
TfL Hackney plate
A live London Hackney plate adds real money; the licensed-trade resale network pays for plate-ready cabs. An expired or surrendered plate is still fine.
Charging kit and history
The Type 2 cable and any home-charge records travel with the cab. Documented servicing on the drivetrain and brakes matters more than headline mileage.
Mileage in context
Electric Hackney cabs cover serious London miles. We price on battery health, plate, body and service history combined, not a mileage cap.
Generation breakdown
Early, mid, and current-spec electric London cab.
"TX5" search intent: the electric London cab
Most drivers searching "TX5" mean the current electric London black cab, marketed and badged as the LEVC TX (not strictly TX5). We treat the search term as equivalent and price the same vehicle accordingly. Early-build cabs (2018-2020) carry the original 31 kWh battery and now show 200,000+ miles.
Typical condition: 180,000-280,000 miles. Active London Hackney service or recently de-licensed.
Mid-cycle electric TX (2020-2023)
Battery management improved, real-world usable range climbed roughly 10-15% from the 2018 spec. Strongest mid-life resale of the three bands because the trade wants the better range without the price step up of the latest stock.
Typical condition: 100,000-200,000 miles. Core of the licensed-Hackney resale market.
Current-spec electric TX (2023+)
Latest infotainment, refined cabin trim, current battery management. Premium resale because of remaining warranty plus low total mileage. We sell these straight into active London Hackney fleet operators, no dealer-forecourt margin in the way.
Typical condition: under 100,000 miles. Premium licensed-trade stock.
Common questions
TX5-specific FAQs.
What is the difference between selling a TX5 and the range-extended TX?+
We treat them as separate models. The TX5 search usually means the fully electric London cab, while the range-extended TX carries a small petrol generator. Both sell into the same licensed-Hackney network. We price each on its own drivetrain, the electric cab on battery health, the range-extended TX on the generator plus battery. If you have the range-extended TX, our LEVC TX page covers it.
My cab's battery range has dropped. Can you still buy it?+
Yes. A tired pack on an electric cab is a known refurbishment cost, we price it in honestly upfront rather than spring it on you at collection. Bring any diagnostic reports, the more we know on day one, the firmer the offer.
Do I keep my TfL plate when I sell?+
TfL plates are non-transferable, so the cab keeps its plate until you surrender it. A live-plate electric cab carries a licensed-trade premium over an unplated one, typically a few thousand pounds depending on remaining plate validity.
How fast can you collect and pay?+
Free collection anywhere in the UK, usually within a few days of you accepting the offer. Payment by bank transfer on the day we collect. No buyer fees taken off the number we agree.
