2011 Peugeot RCZ 2.0L Diesel · AF11 PCZ

The 2011 Peugeot RCZ presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 25 March 2026 at 153,709 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The vehicle cleared the March 2026 test with no defects recorded, though it had failed the prior day on 24 March 2026 at 153,704 miles under a no-defects failure entry, a pattern repeated in March 2025 when it failed on 25 March at 152,901 miles before passing on 27 March at 152,911 miles with no defects logged. Such paired fail-pass entries with no advisories or faults listed suggest administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than escalating mechanical decline. Mileage sits at 153,709 against a 15-year lifespan, equating to roughly 10,247 miles per year and reflecting typical use for the age. The record shows 147,379 miles in March 2024, rising to 152,911 by March 2025 and 153,709 by March 2026, a steady annual accumulation near 5,000 to 6,500 miles that indicates regular but undemanding running. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the sparse clean history offers little evidence of prolonged standing or hard commercial duty. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the RCZ's age and the absence of any advisory capture across the record. The repeated no-defect failures without listed reasons warrant verification that the VIN, lighting, and emissions equipment were properly assessed rather than bypassed. Check underneath for corrosion to structural members and subframes, as the MOT data provides no visibility of hidden rust despite the clean passes. Given the twin fail-pass cycles in 2025 and 2026, confirm with the selling garage what triggered the initial failures and retain that evidence. The owner maintained test currency annually but left no paper trail of consumable renewal, so treat tyres, wiper blades, and fluid intervals as unknown until physically verified.
