You will see older Black Cabs in London. Some of the drivers are buried with the same cab they started with.

Isn't there a 15 year age rule in London? So they can't be that old

3 Age Restrictions 3.1 Vehicles will be licensed up to a maximum vehicle age of ten years taken from the original date of manufacture as declared on the V5 Vehicle Registration Document, providing that all licensing criteria are met. 3.2 It is the intention of Transport for London to eventually reduce the overall age of the private hire fleet in London by reducing, over time, the entry age of a vehicle considered for licensing. The calculation of the age of a vehicle will be taken from the original date of manufacture as declared on the V5 Vehicle Registration Document. Any changes to age restrictions would be introduced after further consultation. 3.3 Classic vehicles or those that are considered to be of historic interest may be exempted from this condition by the licensing authority after approval of an application for such an exemption. 3.4 There is scope to allow some degree of flexibility if an aged vehicle is proved to be particularly well maintained or is kept in a particularly good condition. The licensing authority may decide to grant this concession. Vehicles that are more than ten years old, taken from the first date of registration with the DVLA, will be subjected to a third MOT and separate corrosion inspection each year. Some of these must be "Classics" |
