2016 Peugeot RCZ 2.0L Diesel · KT65 WEU

The 2016 Peugeot RCZ presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with no defects recorded across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 26 January 2026 at 45,817 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, indicating the vehicle currently meets all roadworthiness standards. A prior test on 24 January 2026 at 45,798 miles also shows no defects recorded despite being marked as a failure, suggesting the failure may have been administrative or related to a documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The consistent clean passes from February 2023 through January 2026 demonstrate a stable and well-maintained condition with no recurring or worsening issues. The mileage pattern reveals notably low annual usage of approximately 4,582 miles per year over a decade, which is well below the UK average. The vehicle accumulated 36,122 miles by February 2023 and reached 45,817 miles by January 2026, adding roughly 9,695 miles over a three-year span. This equates to about 3,232 miles annually in the most recent period, suggesting the car has seen even lighter use recently. The gap between the February 2025 pass at 41,196 miles and the January 2026 tests at 45,798 to 45,817 miles shows a jump of approximately 4,600 miles in under a year, which is a modest increase but still within the low-mileage profile. The record is sparse in terms of mechanical data given the absence of any advisories, leaving little to interpret regarding component wear patterns. With no recurring faults or structural concerns flagged in the MOT history, the record itself raises no red flags. However, low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop issues not always captured during a stationary MOT inspection. A buyer should inspect the condition of rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers for deterioration from age rather than wear. Tyre date codes and tread depth deserve attention, as older tyres with low mileage can still perish internally. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for surface corrosion and binding, particularly if the car has been parked frequently. The exhaust system and underbody should be examined for corrosion, especially around mounting points and welded joints. Given the clean MOT record, the primary risk is not neglect but age-related degradation from limited use, making a thorough in-person inspection essential before purchase.
