Plane mirrors always produce virtual images, because they never focus light into a single converging point.

Hence it does not produce real object or image

As power of the plane mirror is zero, hence, it neither converges nor diverges the rays.

Answer:

Yes,a plane mirror can form a real image. A plane mirror can form a real image only for a virtual object. These converging rays of incidents light after reflection intersect at a point to give a real image.
