Citroen Cx Familiale D (1980)
1980 Citroen Cx Familiale D
CarHunch is tracking 119 1980 Citroen Cx Familiale D vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
Every single one of the 119 diesel-powered 1980 Citroën CX Familiales in this dataset failed their MOT — a stark 0% pass rate compared to the UK average of 80% — and none recorded any failures or dangerous defects, which means these vehicles either never made it to test completion or the data itself is incomplete. At 44 years old, these cars are survivors from an era when the CX was praised for its hydraulic suspension and avant-garde design, but the complete absence of mileage records and advisory data makes it impossible to assess genuine condition.
If you're considering one of these classics, treat this dataset as a red flag for data quality rather than a verdict on the car itself; seek out specialist Citroën restorers who can physically inspect the vehicle and verify its actual roadworthiness independent of these MOT records.
We have 119 1980 Citroen Cx Familiale D 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 1980 Citroen Cx Familiale D
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.
