According to this story the (inevitable) drop in London cab use during Covid has led to fields 'full' of black cabs and licenced London taxis that have been taken off the road. The article states 'over 50' vehicles have ben robbed of their catalytic converters and Dpf's. My guess it is the MB Vianos that have been targeted. (Not sure what engine is in the black cabs) for their parts.
There could be a glut of used Vainos flooding the second hand market soon , along with a load of E class airport taxi diesels (in Black) as well if this carries on much longer.
