2014 Peugeot Rcz MOT pass rate: 75.3% (4,693 tests)
Is the 2014 Rcz getting worse?
Pass rate of 2014-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 75.6% -1.8 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 76.7% +1.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 73.6% -0.8 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.
