1988 Citroen 2CV 0.6L Petrol · F721 RDC

This 1988 Citroen 2CV presents in a stable roadworthy condition, demonstrated by a clean pass on October the eighth, 2025 at 17,821 miles. The maintenance trend remains exceptionally positive, especially considering the vehicle failed a test two weeks prior on September the twenty-fourth, 2025 with zero recorded defects before successfully passing on the retest. Earlier examinations on February the first, 2024 and August the third, 2022 also resulted in flawless passes without any advisory items noted by the testers. The vehicle displays an ultra-low mileage accumulation of approximately 469 miles per year across its thirty-eight-year lifespan. This exceptionally sparse usage pattern indicates the car has spent extended periods in storage rather than being subjected to daily road use. The MOT history is remarkably clean, showing total gaps of roughly eighteen months between the 2022 and 2024 tests, followed by a twenty-month gap leading into the late 2025 examinations. While low mileage preserves drivetrain components, long periods standing often invite specific mechanical vulnerabilities that a prospective buyer must verify. Physical inspection should focus heavily on the structural integrity of the chassis platform, floorpans, and suspension mounting points, as classic Citroens are notoriously prone to hidden corrosion despite clean MOT certificates. The unique leading and trailing arm suspension system, friction dampers, and outboard drum brakes require a thorough physical check to ensure components have not seized or deteriorated from lack of movement during prolonged storage periods. Rubber fuel lines, steering gaiters, and perishable bushings also warrant close examination to confirm they remain supple and free from age-related cracking.
