2016 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · DH65 MHX

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear progression of suspension and tyre-related wear. The most recent test in August 2025 at 73,501 miles flagged multiple advisories including worn nearside front suspension arm bushes and a damaged sidewall. While the car passed, the recurring nature of worn bushes on both front arms suggests that the suspension assembly is reaching the end of its functional life and will require imminent attention to prevent future failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 7,350 miles per year. Between the 28,173 miles in August 2021 and 73,501 miles in August 2025, the car covered 45,328 miles, indicating a steady but modest usage. This low mileage is generally positive, though the presence of cracking and perishing tyres noted in 2021 and 2024 suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, leading to rubber degradation despite low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front end, specifically checking for the play in the steering rack inner joints noted in 2023 and the current state of the suspension arm bushes. The offside rear coil spring should be examined for structural integrity, as corrosion was flagged in 2023 and does not appear to have improved. Additionally, the driver's seat belt must be tested for retraction speed to ensure the mechanical fault recorded in 2021 has been rectified, and the windscreen should be checked for further propagation of the previously noted crack.
