He will need to buy a suitable car that's less than 5 years old. Most start in a Pruis or Ford Galaxy.

Vehicle will need a yearly PCO inspection (about £114). And 2 MOT per year.

Feel free to ask me anything, as private hire is my game.
Does he need to have a car? I thought he could get a PCO licence and then work for a company? He lives on the outskirts of london if that helps.
