1990 Citroen 2CV 0.7L Petrol · G592 ACF

The most recent MOT on 27 July 2026 at 52,058 miles recorded a pass with no defects. Prior to that, the vehicle showed only minor, isolated advisories such as light shock‑absorber misting and slight king‑pin play in July 2024, thin front brake pads in August 2022 and a series of electrical and wiper‑blade faults in February 2017. Since the 2017 failure, all subsequent tests have been clear, indicating an improving trend in maintenance and repair attention. At approximately 36 years old the odometer shows 52,058 miles, averaging about 1,446 miles per year, which is low for a car of this age. Mileage accrual has been steady; between the February 2017 pass at 47,523 miles and the August 2018 pass at 47,960 miles the increase was only 437 miles over 18 months, and thereafter the vehicle has gained roughly 500 miles annually. Such low usage suggests long periods of storage or limited road use rather than high‑mileage wear. A prospective buyer should focus on the front suspension king pin and associated bushes, checking for any play or wear, and inspect the rear shock absorbers for oil leakage or deterioration. The front brake pads should be measured for thickness given the 2022 advisory, and the wiper mechanism, horn and dipped‑beam headlamp circuit ought to be tested for proper operation. Given the vehicle’s age, a thorough examination of the chassis and body for corrosion, especially around the radius‑arm mounts and suspension points, is also advisable.
