Different areas have different guidelines but the information below seems to be fairly standard (it's from Trafford):
The specifications we apply to vehicles are as follows:
That your vehicle is in an immaculate condition both mechanically and cosmetically. There is no age limit on this type of licence, but vehicles are expected to remain in a first class condition.
That your vehicle is right hand drive. We will not accept any "conversions" from left to right hand drive under any circumstances. The vehicle must not have less than four road wheels.
That your vehicle (if a car) has a minimum of 4 doors giving adequate access and egress from the vehicle. The design of the car can be saloon, hatchback or estate.
That your vehicle provides easy access from a door to any passenger seat and no "tip up" seat mechanism shall be accepted.
That your vehicle is constructed or adapted to carry a minimum of 4 passengers in comfort.
That your vehicle (if a minibus or "people mover") has sufficient doors of sufficient size to allow passengers to get in and out quickly and safely.
It is a requirement of the Council that seat belts be provided for all persons, irrespective of age, and according to the licensed capacity of the vehicle.
The licence number shall be displayed both on the outside and inside of the vehicle on the official plates provided.
The C4 comes in a 5 door estate version and has a 5 star NCAP rating. It also has 3 seats with 3 proper seatbelts in the back.
If you are looking for value for money and don't mind something a bit quirky I can recommend the Citroen Berlingo Multispace. Seating for 5 adults, high headroom that will take the tallest of people, sliding doors so less bumps on them and a boot that will carry vast quantities of luggage or shopping. The diesel models sip fuel and they're incredibly cheap to run with 12,500 mile service intervals.

A C4?? Bloody rubbish cars. Packed with electrical and mechanical gremlins that even the main dealers can't sort-out. Bloody crap, it'll be off the road all the time and you'll go broke. Japanese car required, ultra reliable and built properly in the first place. Toyota of some description. No sodding Citroens... Christ On A Bike, wake up to yourself.

contact other taxi drivers that have used or using to discover what faults occur more than other cars and does your licencing authority approve of this car.its heavy burden to keep paying and stuck with a car that fails to impress.
