2010 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · Y80 JAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in August 2025. The maintenance trend appears relatively stable, though the record indicates a history of reactive rather than proactive repairs. The recent failure in July 2025 due to a fractured nearside front coil spring was rectified immediately, as the vehicle secured a pass just four days later. This suggests the owner is willing to address safety-critical mechanical failures once flagged by the tester. At a recorded 70,840 miles, this Peugeot RCZ has averaged approximately 4,400 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. This low annual usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of degradation in rubber components and seals. The data gap between the May 2023 test at 64,805 miles and the May 2024 test at 69,314 miles shows a period of roughly 4,500 miles driven, which is consistent with a vehicle that sits stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension geometry and bodywork integrity given the previously broken coil spring and the loose nearside front inner wheel arch noted in 2023. Low-mileage cars often suffer from seized brake calipers or perished bushings that do not manifest under high mileage. The buyer should specifically check for signs of corrosion around the wheel arches and underbody, as the previous issue with a loose liner can sometimes mask underlying structural wear or mounting rust in Peugeot models of this era.
