1986 CITROEN 2CV0.6L Petrol

The 1986 Citroen 2CV presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across the five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 7 October 2025 at 62,802 miles returned a clean pass, continuing an unbroken sequence of satisfactory results since September 2021. The maintenance trend is steady and shows no worsening or emerging fault pattern. Recorded mileage sits at 62,802 against a 40-year lifespan, equating to roughly 1,570 miles per year. The MOT data confirms extremely light use: the car covered only 665 miles between the September 2021 test at 61,137 miles and the October 2025 test at 62,802 miles. No gaps appear in the annual test record and no rapid accumulation occurs. Such low yearly coverage suggests long standing periods, which on a vehicle of this age raises the prospect of perished rubber components and dormant corrosion rather than worn drivetrain parts. A buyer should physically inspect the 2CV's chassis rails and floor pan for structural rust, as the Citroen's steel backbone is prone to corrosion when stored unused in damp conditions. The tester logged no advisories on suspension bushes or brake discs, yet standing vehicles often develop seized linkage and flat-spotted tyres invisible to a pass result. Verify the condition of the coil springs and flexible brake hoses before purchase. The clean MOT history implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance but the absence of advisories does not confirm mechanical fitness after years of minimal running. Commission an independent inspection of the hydropneumatic suspension spheres and exhaust emissions system given the car's 1986 specification and low recorded use.
