1986 CITROEN 2CV0.6L Petrol

The 1986 Citroen 2CV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 16 May 2025 at 78,825 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 10 July 2023, 4 July 2022, and 28 June 2021 likewise passed with zero advisories or failures. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or structural concerns across the four-year documented window. The recorded mileage reflects exceptionally light use for a 40-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced only 664 miles between the June 2021 test at 78,161 miles and the May 2025 test at 78,825 miles, an average of roughly 166 miles per year. Such low accumulation indicates prolonged standing periods rather than regular road use, with no rapid mileage spikes or testing gaps exceeding twelve months. The clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs within the covered period. A buyer should still inspect the 2CV in person for age-related corrosion on the chassis and floor pan, as the MOT history records no structural checks beyond the standard test scope and long dormancy accelerates rust where moisture settles. The Citroen's independent suspension relies on trailing arm bushes and coil springs which can degrade through inactivity rather than wear. Verify brake disc condition and caliper operation after standing, since binding or seized components often escape detection on a short test drive. Confirm exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall integrity before prolonged use, as rubber perishes with age irrespective of tread depth.
