1985 Citroen 2CV 0.6L Petrol · B481 FDT

The most recent MOT on 21 June 2024 records a pass at 8,399 miles, yet the same date also shows a fail with no defects listed, indicating a clerical discrepancy. Assuming the pass reflects the actual condition, the vehicle presently meets the statutory roadworthiness criteria, and the pattern of outcomes over the past three years suggests a stable maintenance record. Mileage has risen from 5,417 miles in May 2022 to 8,399 miles by June 2024, an average increase of roughly 1,200 miles per year in the recent period. Across a 41‑year lifespan this equates to about 205 miles per annum, an exceptionally low figure that points to limited use or long storage intervals rather than heavy wear. No abrupt spikes or gaps appear in the recorded mileage, and the data set remains sparse but clean. Given the vehicle’s age, a buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or loss of compliance, verify that the brake discs and calipers operate without binding, and examine the chassis for any rust that could compromise structural integrity. A visual check of tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and exhaust emissions will confirm that consumable wear aligns with the low mileage claim. Confirm that the MOT certificate presented matches the pass result before finalising purchase.
