1982 Citroen CX 2.4L Petrol · WCU 654Y

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on 30 May 2024 at 75,402 miles resulted in a pass without advisories, mirroring the clean result from the October 2022 inspection. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical or structural failure during the testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 44-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,714 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 75,324 miles and the May 2024 test, the car covered only 78 miles. Such a minimal interval of use indicates the vehicle likely spends long periods stationary or is used for short journeys. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk of component degradation in rubber seals, fluid breakdown, and brake-related corrosion. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the complex hydneumatic suspension system, as these components are prone to perish and leaking when the vehicle sits stationary. Check for signs of perished rubber lines, leaking spheres, and corrosion on the chassis points which may not be visible during a standard MOT test. Given the low usage, also inspect the brake calipers for seized pistons and flat spots on the tyres, as age-related degradation occurs regardless of low tread depth.
