Citroen Cx 20 Re (1986)
1986 Citroen Cx 20 Re
CarHunch is tracking 149 1986 Citroen Cx 20 Re vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1986 Citroën CX 20 RE has a 0% first-time pass rate across 149 vehicles tested—a stark contrast to the UK average of 80%—meaning every single one of these cars failed its MOT. None of the petrol examples in this cohort passed either, and there are no recorded dangerous defects, which suggests these vehicles aren't inherently unsafe but rather uniformly unable to meet modern emissions and mechanical standards.
The zero failures and advisories recorded point to a data anomaly: these cars are almost certainly too old or too few in active use to generate meaningful MOT records in the current system. If you're genuinely considering a 1986 CX, expect significant restoration work to pass any modern test, and treat this dataset as a historical curiosity rather than actionable guidance—speak directly to a specialist CX restorer about what it actually takes to get one through MOT.
We have 149 1986 Citroen Cx 20 Re vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1986 Citroen Cx 20 Re
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
