2013 Peugeot RCZ 2.0L Diesel · L19 NAS

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until May 2026, with the most recent test on May 15, 2025, resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. This outcome aligns with the preceding three annual tests, which also returned clean passes. While the 2024 testing cycle included a failure followed immediately by a pass on the same day, the absence of specific defect descriptions in the public record suggests the initial failure may have been related to a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a structural or mechanical fault. The overall trend remains stable, as the vehicle has cleared its last four consecutive inspections without advisories. The recorded mileage of 65,641 miles over a 13-year lifespan averages approximately 5,049 miles per annum, which sits well below the national average for a vehicle of this age. This low usage pattern is consistent across the provided MOT history, showing steady, incremental increases between annual tests. Low-mileage vehicles can occasionally suffer from issues related to prolonged periods of inactivity, such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber components, or battery degradation, which are not always captured during the standard MOT assessment. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that typically deteriorate through age rather than high-frequency road use. Given the Peugeot RCZ platform, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these are common wear items that may show signs of perishing or corrosion after thirteen years. Inspect the brake discs for surface oxidation or pitting caused by infrequent use, and check the underside for any signs of structural corrosion that the MOT test may not have highlighted as a failure point. Confirm that all electronic systems are fully operational, as the clean MOT record does not provide insight into the health of the vehicle's complex electrical sensors or the drivetrain. Buying score: 75. Risk level: Low.
