For the second year running, it&#8217;s gone straight through the MOT with only planned maintenance. It&#8217;s had all the hydraulic lines replaced, front pads and discs, and a new set of tyres. The car is in about the best condition that I have seen it for ten years. <br><br>But over the last 12 years, it&#8217;s barely managed 3 miles a day. Since the MOT, we&#8217;ve done about 30 miles, and that was driving it back home. It now looks like I&#8217;ll be working from home indefinitely, so no commuting. When will I even get to drive the Citro\u00ebn BX again? Is it time to move her on to someone who can use her?<br><br>Nargh, don&#8217;t be daft. I need to make the most of any essential journey and take the &#8216;Valver&#8217;, and if I&#8217;m not going too far, that&#8217;s less distance to walk home when it invariably decides to break down again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>M<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bxproject.co.uk\/blog\/citroen-bx-security-update\/\">NEXT &#8211; Citroen BX Security Update<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bxproject.co.uk\/blog\/citroen-bx-changing-lhm\/\">PREV &#8211; Citroen BX Hydraulic Service<\/a><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bxproject.co.uk\/blog\/category\/auto\/cit\/\">Back to Citroen Articles<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bxproject.co.uk\/blog\/automotive\/\">Back to Automotive Articles<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/bxproject.co.uk\/blog\/\">Return to Home<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With an average of 3 miles a day in the last 12 years and the prospect of never needing to commute again, do I still need the BX?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,8,5],"tags":[31,10,29],"class_list":["post-129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-automotive-adventures","category-bx16valve","category-citroen-bx-articles","tag-bx-16valve","tag-citroen","tag-maintenance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Citro\u00ebn BX - When will we drive again? - BX Project<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"With a breakdown and COVID lockdowns, the BX hasn&#039;t been getting out much.
