1986 Citroen 2CV 0.6L Petrol · D773 XPG

The 1986 Citroen 2CV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 13 May 2025 at 15,449 miles where the tester recorded no defects. This clean pass follows an unbroken sequence of satisfactory annual examinations, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening mechanical condition across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 15,449 miles for a 40-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 386 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light and consistent use: 13,760 miles in May 2022, 14,523 in May 2023, 14,919 in May 2024, and 15,449 in May 2025. The only anomaly is the failed test on 22 May 2024 at 14,903 miles, retested and passed seven days later at 14,919 miles with no defects logged on either attempt, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than accumulated wear. The sparse and clean history gives no flagged advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across five years. A buyer should still inspect in person for age-related structural rust on the 2CV's chassis and floor pans, as the MOT record does not capture latent corrosion outside test dates. Verify the condition of consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades given the low annual mileage and likely prolonged standing periods. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline, with the vehicle returning a pass in every test bar the unexplained May 2024 failure. The lack of recurring faults implies no ongoing mechanical trend requiring intervention, though the 39-year gap since manufacture means rubber components and brake hydraulics warrant hands-on assessment beyond the paper record.
