2012 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · BK12 LLA

The 2012 Peugeot RCZ is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 May 2026 at 65,376 miles with only a minor advisory for worn, pitted front brake discs that are not seriously weakened. The maintenance trend across the recorded test history is stable, with no major defects or test failures across the four prior MOTs, and only low-risk, consumable-related advisories noted in the 2022 and 2026 tests. The recorded mileage of 65,376 miles equates to roughly 4,670 miles per year over the vehicle’s 14-year lifespan, well below average annual mileage for a car of this age. Gaps between MOT tests show inconsistent use patterns: between the August 2022 and July 2023 tests, only 334 miles were added, suggesting extended periods of stationary storage, while mileage accumulation rose slightly to between 1,200 and 2,100 miles per year in subsequent test intervals, still indicating very light regular use. The MOT record itself is complete, with no gaps in testing and no failures across the five recorded tests. The only recurring mechanical advisories relate to braking and tyre condition, with no structural, suspension, or emissions defects noted across the entire test history. The 2022 MOT flagged worn rear brake discs, perishing rear tyres, and a minor cut in the nearside front tyre, all of which were resolved by the 2023 test with no repeat defects, while the 2026 test notes only worn front brake discs, indicating wear is progressing slowly and is limited to standard consumable components. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the front and rear brake discs and pads to confirm the 2026 advisory does not indicate uneven wear or binding calipers, and check all four tyres for remaining tread depth, sidewall cracking, or damage that may have developed during periods of stationary storage. Low annual mileage and long periods of standing can also accelerate degradation of rubber suspension components even with minimal overall use, so verifying the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs is prudent.
