2013 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · LN63 ACV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a history of clean passes over several years. The most recent MOT test on August 7, 2023 at 107,900 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This followed a failure just one week prior in July 2023 at 107,396 miles, which suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue that was addressed immediately before the subsequent successful test. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use vehicles of this age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per annum. There is a noticeable increase in usage between July 2021 (65,296 miles) and July 2022 (84,338 miles), where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in a single year. Since the recorded mileage in 2023, the vehicle has not undergone a formal test, and given today's date is in July 2026, the MOT is now nearly three years overdue. This gap necessitates an immediate physical inspection to verify the current mechanical condition. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the history, the primary focus should be on components that degrade through age rather than high mileage. A buyer must inspect the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, which is common on RCZ models of this era. Because the car has sat without a test for several years, the inspector should check for perished rubber components such as suspension bushes and boots, and examine brake calipers for seized pistons or surface rust resulting from periods of inactivity.
