2011 Peugeot RCZ 2.0L Diesel · WN61 BFL

The Peugeot RCZ presents a clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 21 November 2025 at 114,346 miles passing without any defects—a strong indicator of stable roadworthiness. The absence of advisories or failures in the last three tests (including the November 2025 pass) suggests consistent upkeep, though the duplicate entry for a failed test on 28 May 2024 at 110,482 miles is anomalous and likely a data error, given no defects were recorded. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, and structural integrity over the past year implies no red-flag issues, though the lack of advisories could also reflect either meticulous maintenance or a tester’s leniency in minor areas. For a buyer, this history reduces immediate concerns about major mechanical failures, but the absence of advisories may mask deferred maintenance on non-critical components. The mileage accumulation of 7,623 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no sudden spikes or prolonged inactivity between tests. The gap between the 2023 test (106,590 miles) and the 2024 retest (110,482 miles) covers roughly 11 months, suggesting the car was driven regularly without excessive idling or neglect. The most recent 3,864 miles since November 2025 were covered in just eight months, which is slightly above average but not alarming. The sparse MOT record—only five entries over five years—could indicate the car has been well-maintained enough to avoid frequent tester visits, or it may have been kept off the road between some tests, though the mileage suggests otherwise. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension components, particularly the coil springs and anti-roll bars, which are common wear points on this model and may not always trigger advisories until advanced stages. The rear brakes should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as the 2024 duplicate failure entry—if genuine—could hint at past issues now resolved. Structural corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and underbody, should be scrutinised, as the RCZ’s aluminium-intensive bodywork can still suffer from hidden rust in high-stress areas. Finally, while the MOT record shows no tyre-related defects, the tread depth and condition should be verified, as previous owners may have rotated or replaced tyres without tester intervention.
