2010 Peugeot RCZ 2.0L Diesel · J60 ABE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 16 December 2025 at 50,146 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The preceding test on 15 December 2025 also showed 50,146 miles but was marked as failed with no defects listed, suggesting a potential administrative irregularity rather than a mechanical issue. All prior tests from December 2022 to December 2024 passed without advisories, confirming consistent roadworthiness over the past four years. The absence of recurring faults or deteriorating conditions in the records supports the conclusion that the vehicle has maintained a reliable standard of mechanical integrity. Mileage progression shows a consistent and low annual accumulation. The vehicle covered 1,965 miles between December 2024 and December 2025, 1,943 miles in the preceding year, and 1,802 miles between December 2022 and December 2023. At approximately 3,134 miles per year over its 16-year lifespan, the usage pattern aligns with light or intermittent driving rather than heavy or commercial use. The steady, gradual increase in mileage across each annual test reflects disciplined, low-stress operation. No significant gaps or abrupt mileage jumps appear in the records, which suggests reliable, albeit infrequent, usage. A buyer should verify the authenticity of the 15 December 2025 failure, as no defects were recorded despite the fail status. Given the vehicle’s age and low mileage, attention should be directed toward potential long-term component degradation. Inspect for signs of corrosion, particularly in the wheel arches, sills, and undercarriage, as prolonged periods of inactivity can lead to moisture-related deterioration. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for brittleness or cracking, and check brake discs and pads for uneven wear or glazing, which can develop even with low annual mileage. The exhaust system and emissions components should also be assessed, as older catalytic converters may degrade over time regardless of usage. Finally, confirm that the battery and fluid levels are current, as these items may require replacement or replenishment after extended storage periods.
