* the average annual mileage of a taxi in the UK?
* the average working life of a taxi with it's first owner and in total?
* If black cabs and cars have different figures it would be helful to find them.

"If in Doubt say Nowt"....anyone thats wants to know how far?..how long?...how old? etc might just grow up to be a bigger thorn than the tree it grows upon!!!

Single shifted taxi 35,000 a year

I've done over 22,000 miles and I've had my vehicle 7 months. I should be quids in but it's not all work related :sad:

In my urban area I would say; Single shifted taxi 35,000 a year, double shifted 70,000. Average working life of a London style cab 10 years with 2 or 3 owners. Saloons 7 years. In rural areas the mileage will vary from 50% more to 50% less. Airport cabs will do loads more. In other words there are 100s of different variants.

Ooh...a cynical...but possibly wise approach to questions bloodnock. The question asked is also one that is difficult to answer, as sussex suggested. Some people appear to be doing "OK", but in many areas, the wheels just 'aint turning! (well...not enough, anyway )

My average is 50,000 single shifted, a return fare is a once in a blue moon affair, so nearly half that mileage is empty Vehicles are a mix of saloons MPVs and hacks all have a 7 year 11 month age restriction but if you get it licenced a month before that restriction you can get a fresh 3 year licence

I don't think he'd believe me if I told him I'm sure he'd rather I declared it all as income miles, but, perhaps he won't ask me this year
