2011 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · LD61 VTC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection in November 2025 at 48,312 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety standards. Following a failure in October 2022, the vehicle has maintained a consistent trend of passes, suggesting that any previous issues were addressed and have not recurred. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old Peugeot, averaging approximately 3,200 miles per year. Between October 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 3,913 miles, showing a steady rate of low-intensity use rather than long-term storage. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and fluids, which do not wear out as quickly through mileage alone. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components prone to perish on low mileage vehicles. Examine the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for corrosion, as these often fatigue out over time regardless of miles driven. The brake system should be checked for seized calipers or pitted discs, as infrequent use can lead to surface oxidation. Additionally, verify the structural integrity for rust around the wheel arches and sills, as the MOT tester only identifies visible corrosion during the test.
