2010 Peugeot RCZ MOT pass rate and common faults

MOT tests in 2025, published 22 Jun 2026. DVSA publishes a new year each summer.

1,353 Peugeot RCZ cars first used in 2010 had an MOT in 2025, at about 15 years old, and 55.6% passed first time. That is below the 59.3% for all cars first used in 2010.

The year is when the car was first used, as on its V5C log book, not the model year.
