The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

The 2CV6 Special shows a first-time MOT pass rate of 73.0%, which sits 7 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a modest gap suggesting these cars need a bit more attention than modern vehicles, though they're far from unreliable. The dangerous defect rate is negligible at 0.1%, so safety concerns are minimal.

These 35-year-old survivors are running at a median of 61,945 miles, which is respectably low for their age and indicates they've either been cherished or lightly used; the near-zero average failures and advisories per vehicle (0.01 and 0.0 respectively) tell you that when a 2CV does fail, it's usually one specific problem rather than cascading issues. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection by someone familiar with air-cooled Citroëns is worth the cost, as these cars reward proper maintenance but can hide wear beneath their charmingly simple exterior.

MOT statistics not available

We have 814 1989 Citroen 2 Cv6 Special vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
