2012 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · MA62 HYF

The 2012 Peugeot RCZ presents a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a completely clean MOT on 23 March 2026 at 36,960 miles with zero defects recorded. This current pass confirms the vehicle meets all required roadworthiness standards. The resolution of the only notable advisories from the previous year confirms that basic consumable upkeep has been addressed recently. No recurring structural or mechanical defects appear in the recent history, suggesting the car has been maintained to a reasonable standard over the last few years. The recorded mileage of 36,960 miles translates to roughly 2,640 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle. The MOT records show consistent, gradual accumulation rather than rapid spikes or long-term gaps. Between 17 March 2022 at 28,879 miles and 20 March 2025 at 35,006 miles, the vehicle covered just over 6,000 miles across three years. Such low annual mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain components and braking systems, though prolonged periods of standing can cause issues like seized brakes or degraded rubber components. Despite the clean recent record, the 2023 test at 30,655 miles flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and wearing on the edges. Edge wear typically indicates misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes, so a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and bush condition is advised. Buyers should examine the inner and outer sidewalls of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns. Given the low mileage and age, check the brake discs and calipers for surface rust or binding, as infrequent use often leads to corrosion on standing vehicles. Inspect the exhaust system and underbody for corrosion, ensuring the structural integrity remains sound despite the light usage.
