Which year to buy? →
The 2016 Peugeot RCZ passes its MOT slightly more often than average—84.1% versus the UK baseline of 80%—but nearly a third of these cars (31.9%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a genuine buyer concern worth investigating on any used example. Petrol versions perform broadly in line with the cohort at 83.1%, so fuel type isn't a differentiator here.
These RCZs are running relatively light mileage for their age, averaging 36,901 miles, which suggests they've been treated as weekend or occasional-use cars. The real story lies in the advisory count: 7.5 per vehicle signals persistent minor wear items and niggles, while an average of 1.5 failures per test indicates repairs are needed more often than you'd hope. Before purchasing, insist on a full MOT history printout and have a pre-buy inspection focus on the suspension, electrics, and cooling system, where sports coupes of this era commonly stumble.

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
