2013 Peugeot Rcz MOT pass rate: 71.3% (6,137 tests)
Is the 2013 Rcz getting worse?
Pass rate of 2013-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 71.2% -3.4 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 72.2% -1.0 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 70.4% -1.7 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2013 Rcz?
