Citroen Cx 25 Tri Safari (1986)
1986 Citroen Cx 25 Tri Safari
CarHunch is tracking 137 1986 Citroen Cx 25 Tri Safari vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
**A 1986 Citroën CX 25 Tri Safari with a zero per cent first-time pass rate is, bluntly, a vehicle in severe mechanical distress — nowhere near the UK average of 80 per cent. None of the 137 petrol examples in this dataset passed their MOT on the first attempt, which is an unambiguous red flag for any prospective buyer.**
**The complete absence of mileage data and the median CarHunch score of just 50 suggest these cars are at the absolute end of their serviceable life. If you're considering one of these vehicles, treat it as a restoration project requiring full mechanical overhaul rather than a usable classic, and budget accordingly.**
We have 137 1986 Citroen Cx 25 Tri Safari 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 25 Tri Safari
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.
