2015 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · LE15 AJD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue with brake component degradation. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 51,755 miles passed, it carried an advisory for front brake discs being pitted and scored. This mirrors a defect found in the December 2024 test at 49,953 miles, indicating that the previous owner has deferred replacing these components despite them reaching a state of surface corrosion. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with intervals of roughly 4,000 miles between the December 2022 and December 2025 tests. This low-frequency use suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it often correlates with accelerated corrosion on exposed metal surfaces when the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. This environment likely explains the recurring pitting observed on the brake discs across multiple years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the repeated failures of both front and rear discs dating back to late 2022 suggest a lack of proactive preventative maintenance. The pitting on the inner faces of the discs indicates moisture-related corrosion which can affect braking performance if not addressed. Additionally, the tyre pressure monitoring system, which failed in 2022, should be verified to ensure it is now fully operational. Given the low mileage, specific attention should also be paid to perished rubber components like suspension bushes and tyres, as these parts age through time rather than they wear through mileage.
