1987 Citroen 2CV 0.6L Petrol · D788 RNE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 at 94,245 miles. The record shows a clean bill of health with no defects or advisories noted during the final inspection. While the car failed on the same day in July 2025 and previously in September 2022, the lack of recorded defects in the history suggests these may have been administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 39 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,417 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 94,151 miles and the July 2025 pass at 94,245 miles, the car covered only 94 miles over nearly three years. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods standing rather than being used regularly. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the chassis and floor pans for corrosion. The 2CV is notorious for structural rust, and a clean MOT record does not always guarantee the absence of deep-seated oxidation in the chassis rails. Long periods of inactivity often lead to perished rubber components and seized brake calipers. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the fuel system, as seals can shrink and leak when a car sits idle. Verify that the brakes are not binding and that the tyres have not developed flat spots or sidewall cracking from lack of use. Given the minimal mileage accumulation, the mechanical health depends more on storage conditions than on wear and tear.
