2016 Peugeot RCZ 2.0L Diesel · FX16 WCZ

The vehicle presents a generally stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent inspection in January 2026 at 47,138 miles indicates a shift toward neglected consumable maintenance. While the car passed its test, the tester flagged pitted and scored brake discs on both the nearside and offside rear axles. This follows a pattern of recurring brake disc issues seen as far back as February 2021, suggesting that while the vehicle remains legal, the braking components are reaching the end of their service life. The mileage history shows a very low usage pattern, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year over its ten-year lifespan. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the vehicle covered 8,704 miles, which represents a slight increase in annual usage compared to the earlier period between 2021 and 2022. The low total mileage of 47,138 miles suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, a factor that often contributes to the surface corrosion and pitting observed on the brake discs. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The recurring advisories for pitted and scored discs across both front and rear axles indicate that a full brake overhaul, including new discs and pads, is likely imminent. The January 2026 report also noted that both front tyres are 75% worn, meaning they will require replacement shortly. Given the history of minor tyre damage and edge wear, checking the wheel alignment and suspension bushes would be prudent to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in uneven tyre degradation due to long periods of standing.
