2010 Peugeot RCZ 2.0L Diesel · MM10 AEJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, following a clean pass in its most recent test in June 2025 at 73,450 miles. The maintenance history indicates a pattern of proactive rectification where identified faults were addressed immediately. While the car suffered two failures in late 2023 and late 2024, the issues were resolved prior to subsequent passing tests, suggesting the previous owner was attentive to MOT compliance requirements rather than allowing minor defects to escalate into significant mechanical failures. At 16 years old, the recorded 73,450 miles represent an average annual usage of approximately 4,600 miles, which is significantly below the national average for its age. The data shows periods of low activity, particularly notably the interval between December 2023 and November 2024, where only 2,001 miles were covered. However, low mileage on an older Peugeot often masks age-related degradation of rubber components and seals. The rapid succession of a failure and a pass in November 2024 suggests a specific repair was performed rather than general mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as low-mileage vehicles of this era often suffer from seized calipers or perished suspension bushes. Inspect the control arm bushings and coil springs for signs of cracking, which are common when a car sits stationary for long periods. Given the vehicle's age, verify the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for hidden corrosion, as the MOT record does not rule out surface rust regardless of the low mileage driven.
