2012 Peugeot RCZ 2.0L Diesel · BK12 LLZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding the suspension assembly. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 65,228 miles, this followed a failure due to multiple mechanical defects. The transition from a perfectly clean record in 2024 to structural failures involving corroded springs and perishing bushes in 2025 indicates that components are now reaching the end of their functional life despite the low overall mileage. At 14 years old, the PEUGEOT RCZ has averaged approximately 4,600 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The data shows a consistent pattern of low usage, with only 15,520 miles covered between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests. However, low-frequency operation often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion of metal parts, as evidenced by the fractured nearside front coil spring and the corroded offside rear spring noted in the 2025 records. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The record specifically flagged a worn nearside front inner suspension arm bush and a corroded offside rear coil spring, which should be checked for further play or structural decay. Given the previous failure of a fractured coil spring in 2024 and the corrosion found in 2025, the buyer should look for deep-seated rust throughout the chassis to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying environmental damage to the vehicle.
