2015 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · JB05 SOS

The 2015 Peugeot RCZ has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with no defects or advisories recorded across all five tests. The most recent examination, conducted on 30 April 2025 at 67,472 miles, confirmed full compliance with all DVSA standards. While the December 2024 entry includes a duplicate date—likely an administrative error—both entries reflect a clean pass without any recurring mechanical or structural concerns. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the absence of advisories does not preclude hidden wear in high-stress components. The recorded mileage of 67,472 miles over 11 years aligns with typical usage patterns for this age, averaging around 6,134 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, with the most recent 2,000-mile increment occurring between the December 2024 and April 2025 tests. The lack of advisories or defects in prior tests implies that, if servicing was conducted, it adhered to the minimum requirements without addressing preventative maintenance beyond legal obligations. However, the absence of service records means critical intervals for suspension components, brake fluid changes, or timing belt inspections cannot be verified. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue in this model. The brakes—though never failed—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, as repeated high-mileage use may have contributed to subtle degradation. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should be examined, as this is a common failure point in older Peugeot models. Finally, the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be inspected for leaks or excessive rust, as these are often overlooked until they fail. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are intact, so visual and functional checks are essential.
