1986 Citroen 2CV 0.6L Petrol · D982 OWJ

The 1986 Citroen 2CV presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 29 September 2025 at 17,682 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 13 November 2024 at 17,620 miles and 8 December 2023 at 17,446 miles also passed with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical or structural concerns across the three-year record. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 40-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved just 236 miles between December 2023 and September 2025, averaging roughly 118 miles per year across that span. From 17,446 to 17,682 miles total, the annual rate sits far below typical use at about 442 miles per year overall. Such low figures imply long static periods in storage rather than active daily driving, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect in the recorded window. A buyer should still inspect the 2CV in person for age-related corrosion on chassis members and floor pans, as the MOT record does not capture structural rust absent a failure. The Citroen's independent suspension relies on trailing arm bushes and coil springs which can degrade through standing rather than wear; verify no perishing or binding is present. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for seizure after prolonged inactivity despite the clean emissions and braking results logged in 2025. Given the sparse but clean history, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic compliance with test standards. The absence of advisories across all three tests suggests careful, light use. Prospective owners should budget for rubber perishable renewal and a thorough underside inspection before relying on the car for regular road use.
