2010 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · LT60 KXB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent inspection result from April 5, 2024. At 101,477 miles, the Peugeot RCZ passed the test without any recorded defects, indicating that it currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. The history shows a pattern of immediate rectification where failures are followed by passes within days, suggesting the previous owner was proactive in addressing MOT-related faults once they were flagged by testers. The mileage profile is consistent with light usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. There is a notable period of activity between May 2023 and April 2024 where the car covered nearly 9,000 miles in eleven months. Conversely, the gap between July 2022 and May 2023 saw only 1,962 miles driven. This intermittent usage pattern and low annual mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes and seals, or cause fluid breakdown, despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to age-related wear despite the low mileage. While the record shows no current advisories, the RCZ platform requires a close look at corrosion on the rear wheel arches and structural sills. Given the failures in 2022 and 2024, verify the current state of the brake calipers and any perished suspension bushings. Inspect the exhaust system for signs of thinning, as long periods of standing often allow for internal corrosion to go unnoticed.
