2012 Peugeot RCZ 2.0L Diesel · GS52 ROZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 117,509 miles resulted in a pass, it flagged all four tyres as worn to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This suggests a lapse in basic consumable replacement prior to the inspection, mirroring previous instances where the car failed tests due to worn steering and suspension components. At 14 years old with 117,509 miles, the Peugeot RCZ averages approximately 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a sports coupe of this age. The record shows consistent use, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 5,400 miles followed by the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary, which keeps rubber bushings and mechanical seals subjected to consistent degradation. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry thoroughly due to recurring failures in the ball joints and track rods. The November 2024 failure revealed excessive play in both front track rod end ball joints, while the 2023 failure noted a worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint. The distorted nearside rear road wheel recorded in 2024 indicates a previous significant impact or curb strike that may have caused secondary alignment issues or premature wear on related components. The uneven wear patterns noted across all four tyres in the 2025 record point toward persistent misalignment or worn shock absorbers that require professional attention. A physical inspection should also verify the integrity of the rear wheel and check the condition of the subframe for any hidden corrosion. Given the history of steering-related faults, a road test to check for tracking or knocks is essential to ensure no further mechanical failures remain in the drivetrain.
