Insight summary

Peugeot Rcz is a rare model in this snapshot, with 9,513 represented vehicles and 0.02% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 73.7% from 74,381 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 48. The current pool shows an average of 77,636 miles and an average age of 12.8 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 77,636 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are coil springs, engine warning light and lighting. The practical read is that the Peugeot Rcz looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
