10,000 a year is nothing though. I averaged about 20-25,000 when I used to run around in my corsa.
Now I probably average about 12-15,000.

depends on where you are, around liverpool/mersyside area you cant put anything on the road as a taxi over 8 years old, but once its got a taxi plate, as long as you renew it on time it can be as old as you want
And can stay a taxi for aslong as you want, just after it gets over 8 years old, it needs a different more thourough test every year

Suprised Ford haven't gone all PR on it and given him a new car etc. Great advertisement from his trusty old car.
