2015 Peugeot RCZ 1.6L Petrol · SY65 NBK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 92,523 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just two weeks prior that flagged multiple defects including lighting, washer systems, and suspension components. The recurring pattern of failing on avoidable items, such as light bulbs and wiper blades, suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they become necessary to pass the annual test. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between May 2025 (81,682 miles) and May 2026 (92,523 miles), where the car covered over 10,800 miles in just twelve months. This recent burst of activity likely contributed to the accelerated wear seen on the suspension and tyres, evidenced by the failures related to suspension arm bushes and coil springs during that same period. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record shows recurring issues with the offside suspension arm and the offside rear coil spring, indicating that the rubber components and metal springs are reaching their limit. You should specifically check the CV joint boots for tears or grease leakage, as these were flagged as split back in 2022 and require close monitoring to prevent ingress of dirt which will eventually lead to premature drive joint failure. Tyres represent another persistent point of concern, with multiple tests flagging them as being near the legal limit in 2019, 2023, 2024, and 2026. The recent failure specifically noted uneven wear on the front edges, which often indicates incorrect alignment settings or worn shock absorbers. Given the minor exhaust leak noted in 2023, a visual check of the exhaust system for corrosion or mounting damage is advised to ensure the issue has not worsened since the last inspection.
