1987 Citroen 2CV 0.6L Petrol · D447 PHL

The 1987 Citroen 2CV demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, culminating in a clean pass on 21 October 2023 at 32,876 miles with zero defects recorded. This faultless test mirrors clean passes from 20 September 2022 and 28 September 2021. The vehicle maintains a continuous annual testing cadence without history omissions, indicating consistent statutory compliance by past keepers. The recorded mileage of 32,876 miles over roughly thirty-nine years averages out to a modest 843 miles annually. Low-mileage vintage cars often suffer from prolonged periods of inactivity rather than high-mileage mechanical fatigue. The tight mileage increments between successive tests confirm the vehicle covers minimal distance each year, though sparse historical data prior to 2021 leaves earlier maintenance trends unverified. Physical inspection must focus heavily on the structural integrity of the platform chassis and floorpan, which are notorious corrosion traps on this model. Potential buyers should scrutinize the inboard front disc brakes, swing arm bearings, and suspension coil springs for age-related perishing or binding. Rubber fuel lines, fluid leaks from the air-cooled flat-twin engine, and the condition of the canvas roof frame require thorough physical checking due to the advanced age of the vehicle.
