Our database tracks 5 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Average

Common Problems: PEUGEOT RCZ
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- 1.6 THP Timing Chain Stretch (Prince Engine)(Serious)
The Prince-engine 1.6 THP is notorious for timing chain stretch and tensioner failure. If the chain jumps, it can cause catastrophic valve-to-piston contact and total engine destruction.
- Turbo Oil Return Pipe Leaks(Moderate)
The turbo oil return pipe on THP models can develop leaks, causing oil to drip onto the exhaust manifold or subframe. This can produce burning oil smells and, in severe cases, fire risk.
- DMF/Clutch Wear(Moderate)
The dual-mass flywheel and clutch on THP models wear faster than expected, particularly on cars driven hard. Replacement is expensive as the clutch and DMF are usually replaced together.
