1991(H) Citroen BX 1.9 16V - £400 - Hampshire

It has no MOT or tax. I've run it through an MOT to see what needs doing and have paperwork to go with car. It's been off the road for some time, hence only covering around 113k miles....fairly low for a 19yr old BX! To sum it up, what you get is:

Engine....good. Starts on the button and runs well.
Gearbox.....quiet, and smooth in operation.
Exhaust....was holed, now sealed and sorted with new silencer.
Hydraulics/suspension....car rises and falls as it should. Front struts very slightly sticky at top of travel, rear spheres need changing. PAS works fine.
Brakes....seemingly in good working order, alhough have neverhad to deploy them in anger. I can supply new discs and pads for front which I think will sharpen them up further. ABS lamp is intermittantly on, and in the fail sheet it mentioned CV boots are split....possible grease from boot on ABS sensor?
Electrics....were knackered, but have got much sorted including sunroof, heater fan and original remote locking plip!
Bodywork....fairly straight all round. Currently sporting dented rear door but have sourced a red replacement to include with sale. Only real gripe is that front wings, bonnet and one or two small panels have been resprayed a very slightly darker shade of red, although to a high standard. Whole car slightly faded but is responding well to polish. A proper mop would see a deep glossy shine, I am certain.
Wheels/tyres....wheels all ok, corroded in the usual places. Tyres all have legal tread, but are cracked due to ageing. The size is 195/60/14 if you want to source some used replacements.
Speedo....doesn't work.

Overall car is totally original. No mods, except for a radio that has no face to use! Last owner had the car since 1998

2x CV boots

4x tyres (current are have plenty of tread, but are cracked)

2x rear spheres

1x strut return pipe (will supply with car)

Small LHM weep around rack area....suspect small pipes into ram are leaking around the o-rings.

ABS light on. Possible sensor coated in CV grease around leaking boot?


It also failed on headlamps...which work, so can't work that one out and a severe exhaust leak. I've since replaced that part of the exhaust with new. They were unable to test emissions due to the leak, and unable to do the brake test because there was a big LHM leak around the accm sphere/P.R at the time of test. I've since replaced a few pipes and that leak has gone, but they'd probably still pick up on the little one.
