2011 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · AD61 YBF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 116,896 miles passed with multiple advisories regarding tyre perishing and damage alongside a deteriorating rear registration plate. While the car has passed its annual inspections, the recurring nature of tyre-related faults suggests the previous owner only addressed issues once they reached a failure or significant advisory threshold. At 116,896 miles over fifteen years, the Peugeot RCZ has averaged approximately 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent mileage intervals, with roughly 7,600 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 7,700 miles between August 2023 and July 2024. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, following the fractured offside front coil spring recorded in August 2023. The history also notes a distorted nearside front road wheel in 2023, which could indicate a past impact that affected alignment or hub bearings. The persistent advisories for tyre cracking and sidewall damage across the last three tests suggest the current tyres may be reaching the end of their structural life due to age regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for secure mounting, as loose trims were flagged in both 2023 and 2024.
