1987 CITROEN 2CV0.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2024-01-09 recorded a pass with one minor issue: a slightly worn nearside front suspension component pin or bush (5.3.4 (a) (i)). This mirrors earlier findings from 2022, 2020, and 2024-01-04, indicating a recurring suspension wear pattern . The 2024-01-04 MOT prior to that recorded failures for two position lamps, a dipped beam headlamp, and the same suspension issue, suggesting intermittent electrical and mechanical problems . The suspension component wear has remained stable over multiple MOTs, with no indication of worsening. However, the 2023-01-11 MOT noted corroded rear brake pipes (1.1.11 (c)), a safety risk that could lead to fluid leaks or brake failure. This issue was not repeated in later tests, but corrosion in brake systems is a critical concern that requires immediate inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 79,634 miles (about 2,042 miles per year) is low for its age , which may reflect light use or prolonged periods of inactivity. While lower mileage can reduce wear on moving parts, it may also lead to component stiffness or degradation from lack of use, particularly in electrical systems and suspension. The absence of major faults in recent MOTs suggests no significant deterioration , but the age and mileage combination mean systemic wear is likely . A buyer should prioritize inspecting: - The front suspension components for further wear or damage.
