MOT until August 17th 2012 (it passed no advisories). Tax up to the end of February 2012.
158,200 miles.
First registered August 1st 1992.
2 Former keepers (I'm the third). It was bought by its previous owner September 24th 1995.
Since then I have a record of everything ever spent and done on the car the owner forked out over £22,000 to run over the fifteen and a half years. The details, which add to the mountain of bills etc. I already have suggest to me that this must be one of the best-maintained BXs around.
The reduced annual mileage confirms that with increasing lack of use, the owner was right to sell when he did (for which I am eternally grateful of course!), but it still didn't want for anything - even in the last few thousand miles in his ownership.
Just in the last 9 years/10,000 miles (I have put 4,000 miles onto it) it has had five Mobil 1 synthetic oil changes, three gearbox oil changes (last engine and gearbox changes included Activ8 treatment), two coolant changes, two LHM changes, metal fuel pipe renewed, driveshaft boots, complete exhaust, lower ball joints, accumulator sphere, front anti-roll bar drop links, cam belt (just under four years and 6,000 miles ago) and tensioner assembly, rad cap, several brake strip and cleans plus new front pads, loads of cleaning and waxoyling, numerous oil/fuel/air filters and only 4,500 miles/one year ago, front to rear, all rear subframe mounted and rear brake hydraulic pipes/unions replaced with copper nickel at Chevronics (and a Dinotrol treatment). Octopus was replaced a little before the above. It has also had Citroen CX (TRi front, Safari rear) spheres fitted and they make it ride beautifully.I even replaced the spare with a very good part-worm Michelin in June.
The only issues with the car are that it still has a very slight weep of diesel from the pump (Bosch) and the air conditioning (although it still blows cold) needs the compressor replacing (I have bought a replacement, which along with a new drier comes with the car).
The interior is very good indeed and there is a new Philips radio/CD - and I fitted tweeters in the upper dash speaker-housings which are usually empty on a TXD)... there is some minor staining on the roof lining but as yet I haven't cleaned it so I don't know if it'll come out.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure you won't find a better BX estate (sorry to all those with one - and I am prepared to be proved wrong!
)...
So if you are interested let me know. I will be looking for around £1,000, which given the amount of stuff done, its condition - the paintwork is superb - and the massively comprehensive service history, is fair. With new pump and air con working Tim and I reckon it might make well over a grand.
Bugger!
