2013 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · CA63 BNE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 59,789 miles passed, it followed a failure just two months prior. The failure at 59,564 miles highlighted significant neglect regarding tyres, with four tyres failing for tread depth requirements or showing sidewall damage. This suggests the previous owner only addresses consumable items when they reach the point of a legal test failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 59,789 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between October 2023 (48,199 miles) and October 2024 (54,707 miles), where the car covered over 6,500 miles in a year. This low-frequency use often leads to degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing noted on the rear tyres in late 2025. The low mileage does protect the drivetrain, but increases the risk of age-related material failure elsewhere. A buyer must inspect the condition of all tyres and suspension bushings, as the recurring reports of perishing and sidewall damage indicate the vehicle may sit for long periods. The nearside front windscreen has carried a chip since at least 2024, which should be checked for spreading cracks that could lead to a future failure. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection is also required to check for corrosion on the brake discs and seized calipers, as these are common issues on vehicles that are not driven regularly enough to keep the components clean.
