2014 Peugeot RCZ 2.0L Diesel · TW13 EFC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT entries from April 2026 show it is not currently roadworthy. The PASS test recorded front‑tyre wear at the legal limit and a corroded rear‑brake hose, while the subsequent FAIL test added non‑functional stop lamps, a defective side repeater, and the same tyre wear and brake‑hose corrosion. This cluster of faults marks a clear worsening trend compared with earlier isolated failures such as the 2025 headlamp‑aim issue and the 2023 coil‑spring fracture. Mileage progression remains steady at roughly 6,300 miles per year, which is typical for a 12‑year‑old car. The increase from 70,460 miles in April 2025 to 75,927 miles in April 2026 follows the established pattern, indicating no abnormal wear rate. The MOT records are current, with the latest tests only three months old, so the data reflects the vehicle’s present condition. A buyer should inspect the front tyres for edge wear at the legal limit, the rear‑brake hose for corrosion, and verify operation of the stop lamps, side repeater, and headlamp aim. The fractured offside front coil spring noted in March 2023 remains a structural concern; suspension bushes and coil springs must be examined for cracks or looseness. Additionally, check for any chassis rust or exhaust corrosion, given the brake‑hose corrosion history. Overall, the car’s recent MOT highlights multiple safety and wear items that require repair before it can be considered roadworthy. While mileage is average, the accumulation of defects suggests the vehicle needs professional attention. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection is essential to address the lighting faults, tyre condition, brake‑hose corrosion, and suspension issues before acquisition.
