AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2011 Peugeot RCZ passed its most recent MOT on 16 January 2025 at 92,662 miles, leaving it roadworthy with a set of minor advisories. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but shows creeping consumable wear rather than resolution. In the January 2025 test the tester flagged rear brake pads wearing thin, both rear brake discs scored or pitted, and both front tyres worn close to the legal limit on the edge. These are age-related consumable items, not structural defects. Recorded mileage sits at 92,662 against a 15-year life, an average of roughly 6,177 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The odometer moved from 81,221 in November 2022 to 87,451 by December 2023, then to 92,662 by January 2025, showing low annual use with no rapid accumulation. The history is sparse between tests, though two failures punctuate otherwise clean passes. Failing twice on tyre condition, in November 2022 and via edge wear in January 2025, suggests basic tyre upkeep was skipped until forced by the test. The December 2023 failure at 87,426 miles exposed worn front lower suspension arm bushes, with the offside front forward bush excessively worn and the nearside rear bush worn but stable. This was corrected before the pass three days later. A buyer should inspect the front suspension arms and bushes in person for renewed movement, and confirm the January 2025 brake and tyre advisories were addressed. Check both rear brake discs for scoring depth and measure front tyre tread across the full width, not just the centre. No corrosion, emissions, or structural integrity failures appear in the record. The RCZ presents as a lightly used, structurally sound example with predictable wear on brakes, tyres, and front suspension bushes that demands verification of recent rectification before purchase.

Our Verdict

The Peugeot RCZ is a stylish, engaging coupe that offers great value, but this specific 2011 example requires careful scrutiny of its mechanical upkeep. While it has passed its most recent MOT, the noted wear on braking components and tyres suggests that a budget for immediate maintenance is essential.

When inspecting this RCZ, focus heavily on the suspension and braking systems, as these have been the primary areas of concern in recent MOT tests. Ensure the car drives straight and listen for any knocking sounds from the front end, which could indicate that the suspension arm bushes, previously replaced, are starting to degrade again.

Check the service history for evidence of timing chain maintenance, as the 1.6-litre petrol engine (THP) is known to be sensitive to oil quality. Given the current mileage, verifying that the oil has been changed at regular intervals is vital for the longevity of the turbocharger and variable valve timing components.

The 1.6-litre petrol engine is relatively efficient for a performance-oriented coupe, but expect fuel economy to vary significantly based on driving style. As a 2011 model, road tax will be based on CO2 emissions, which may sit in a higher bracket compared to newer, turbocharged engines.

Insurance costs can be higher for the RCZ due to its sports-coupe classification and potential repair costs for bodywork. Budget for premium tyres and specific brake components, as the car's handling characteristics depend heavily on these parts being in top condition. Total annual running costs, including insurance, fuel, and maintenance, are estimated at £1,600-£1,900.

Begin your inspection by examining the rear brake discs and pads; the January 2025 MOT noted pitting and thinning, so check if these have been replaced or if they require imminent attention. Inspect the front tyres carefully, as the most recent test noted edge wear, which can be a sign of poor wheel alignment or further suspension geometry issues.

Open the bonnet and look for any signs of oil leaks around the rocker cover or turbo area. Test all electrical features, including the retractable rear spoiler, which is a signature feature of the RCZ and can be costly to repair if the motor or mechanism fails.

This 2011 Peugeot RCZ in white has covered 92,662 miles, placing it in a well-used category for its age. The MOT history shows a mix of clean passes and minor advisory items, with recent attention required on suspension bushings and braking hardware. It represents an affordable entry point into sports coupe ownership, provided you are prepared to address the maintenance items flagged in the latest inspection.

No aggregate reliability data is available for the Peugeot RCZ, so buyers should rely on individual vehicle history and thorough mechanical inspection.
