Is the Peugeot Rcz ULEZ Compliant?
Based on 11,327 MOT tests, around 66% of Peugeot Rczes still on the road are likely to meet London's ULEZ standards, and about 25% are likely to be charged. For the remaining 9%, it depends on the exact Euro standard or month of registration.
The fuel mix matters: tested cars were 65% petrol, 35% diesel. Every petrol Rcz in the data (2010 onwards) is likely to be compliant. Diesel Rczes are generally compliant from 2016, while diesel cars from 2013 or earlier are likely to be charged.

How ULEZ rules apply to the Rcz
Cars that miss the standard pay £12.50 for each day they're driven in the zone. Petrol and petrol-hybrid cars need Euro 4 (most from 2006), while diesels need Euro 6 (most from September 2015).
- Petrol (65% of Rczes tested): every year in our data is likely to comply.
- Diesel (35% of Rczes tested): likely compliant from 2016; 2013 and earlier are likely to be charged.
Rczes from 2014 and 2015 sit on the boundary (9% of those tested): some were built to the required standard before it became compulsory. The Euro standard is sometimes on the V5C logbook, or Peugeot can confirm it. Our ULEZ calculator can help.

Buying a used Peugeot Rcz for London: what the MOT data shows
The Peugeot Rczes in this data were first registered between 2010 and 2016. 2011 was the most common year, with 2,562 tests (23% of the total), and half were registered in 2012 or later.
Rczes from likely-compliant years passed their MOT first time 65% of the time, at an average of 67,531 miles. Older ones likely to be charged passed 62% of the time with 71,837 miles on average.
On a budget, the oldest diesel Rczes likely to comply are from 2016. 94 of them were tested; 2016 cars passed first time 77% of the time and averaged 41,950 miles. Check the Euro standard on the V5C before you buy one from around then.
Whichever year you choose, check the Rcz's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were suspension: "fractured or broken" (8.9% of tests); lights and electrics: "not working" (5.4%); body and structure: "constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt" (4.5%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 17.6% of tests.
Overall, 65% of Rczes passed first time, noticeably below the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 67,326 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
