2011 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · JS59 MMY

The 2011 Peugeot RCZ has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent pass on 7 March 2026 at 120,594 miles. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend with no recurring mechanical failures or advisories. The absence of any advisory notes or repeat failures indicates that major components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, brake discs, or exhaust emissions—have not been compromised beyond MOT thresholds. However, the duplicate entry for April 2023 (both pass and fail at the same mileage) appears anomalous and may warrant clarification, though it does not affect the overall pass status. The vehicle’s mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging around 8,040 miles annually, which is typical for its age. There are no significant gaps in service intervals, though the jump from 55,171 to 60,982 miles between April 2023 and March 2024 (5,811 miles in under a year) suggests a brief period of higher mileage accumulation. Conversely, the 2025-2026 interval (73,957 to 120,594 miles) spans 19,637 miles over 12 months, indicating a return to a more moderate annual distance. This pattern implies routine driving rather than neglect or excessive wear. Given the lack of MOT defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items not routinely tested, such as the suspension’s rubber mounts (particularly rear bushes) and steering rack seals, which often degrade beyond MOT visibility. The front and rear brake systems, while passing MOT standards, should be checked for uneven pad wear or warped discs, especially if the vehicle has experienced aggressive braking or off-road use. Structural integrity remains a concern for this age, so a thorough examination of wheel arches, sills, and underbody corrosion—particularly around the rear subframe—is essential, as these areas are prone to hidden deterioration. The dual MOT entry in 2023 may indicate a temporary oversight, so verifying the vehicle’s full service history for pre-MOT maintenance is advisable.
