1971 Citroen DS 2.0L Petrol · AKE 93J

This Citroen DS holds a current and valid MOT certificate following a pass on the eighth of September twenty twenty-five at twenty-eight thousand seven hundred and forty-nine miles, showing an immediate correction from a failure just ten days prior on the twenty-ninth of August twenty twenty-five. This sequence indicates a transient administrative or minor remedial fix rather than a systemic mechanical failure, pointing toward an improving maintenance response when presented for statutory testing. The recorded mileage of twenty-eight thousand seven hundred and forty-nine miles across fifty-five years equates to an exceptionally low annual average of roughly five hundred and twenty-three miles. Extended periods of light use or storage often lead to stagnation issues, though the provided data record lacks historical depth prior to late twenty twenty-five, leaving earlier mileage progression unverified. Hydropneumatic suspension systems, high-pressure hydraulic lines, and complex self-levelling mechanisms demand thorough in-person scrutiny on this chassis architecture, as prolonged inactivity frequently causes fluid weeping, sphere degradation, and pump fatigue. Corrosion inspection must target the structural sills, chassis members, and floor pans, areas notoriously susceptible to rust on classic Citroen models regardless of low odometer readings. Potential buyers should also check the braking system for seized calipers or deteriorating hydraulic hoses resulting from infrequent road use.
