Biggest (by some margin) local private taxi firm seems to run exclusively Dacia Logan MCV's.
I presume becasue they are cheap, huge boot and the 1.5 diesel engine is so widely used parts must be cheap.
I was in a 64 plate one with 91k on the clock and they driver said the only problem he had encountered was the passenger side bulb has been replaced.
Previously they ran exclusively skoda octavias but when skoda tried to go upmarket with the octavia and with the price, they seem to have said goodbye to the taxi trade.
I was in Leeds last week and the big taxi firm was running exclusively Citroen Berlingo Multispace's.
Again, robust, reliable (excpet the diesel engine) big cars with huge boots but the 1.6 diesel engine is problematic around 4 years old.
I got one to and from the station, the one on the way back had 81k on the clock and they guy said it had had 'no problems'.
