1978 Citroen 2CV 0.6L Petrol · CUA 133S

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-01-21 MOT at 72,092 miles. The prior 2024-08-23 test at 65,621 miles also showed no issues, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past 18 months. No recurring faults or structural concerns were flagged in the history, suggesting the car has been maintained to meet legal standards. The mileage of 72,092 miles over 48 years equates to an average of 1,502 miles annually, which is low for the vehicle’s age. The two MOT entries span a 19-month gap, during which mileage increased by 6,471 miles—approximately 4,000 miles per year. This suggests periods of reduced usage or storage, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers through inactivity. The sparse MOT history lacks data on consumables or mechanical wear beyond basic compliance. A buyer should inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in the bodyshell and undercarriage, given the car’s age and low mileage. Check suspension components for stiffness or wear, as infrequent use can degrade rubber bushes and metal joints. Verify brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, as lack of use may cause seizing. The exhaust system and engine mounts should also be assessed for age-related deterioration, as these are common failure points in vintage vehicles. No advisories in the record indicate immediate risks, but proactive checks are essential for long-term reliability.
