Are used Peugeot cars reliable?

Yes, most used Peugeot models are known for being dependable, especially when they have been serviced regularly. Engines like the PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel units are well-regarded for their balance of performance and efficiency. As with any used car, choosing one with a full service history and checking for common wear items helps ensure long-term reliability.

Are used Peugeot cars economical to run?

Generally, yes. Peugeot vehicles are praised for their strong fuel economy, low CO₂ emissions, and reasonable maintenance costs. Smaller petrol engines and modern diesel or hybrid options tend to be especially efficient, making used Peugeots a cost-effective choice for both city driving and longer commutes.

Are there any common engine or mechanical faults I should watch out for in a used RCZ?

Yes, some used RCZs, especially those with the 1.6 THP petrol engine, can suffer from timing chain wear and tensioner issues. There are also reports of higher oil consumption on some of these engines.

What condition should the electrics and interior be in when inspecting a used RCZ?

It’s worth checking all the electrical systems carefully - previous owners have reported failures with power windows, air‑conditioning controls, and the pop-up navigation screen. Also inspect for rattles in the trim, particularly around vents and door panels, and check for premature wear on leather seats.

PEUGEOT RCZ

PEUGEOT RCZ Exterior

The exterior of the Peugeot RCZ is defined by a striking, coupe-sport aesthetic that’s unmistakably bold and elegant. One of its most iconic features is the “double-bubble” roof, two convex domes that give the car a unique silhouette and enhance its aerodynamic profile. At the rear, the design is sporty and muscular: there’s a fixed spoiler, twin exhausts, and bold lines that convey performance. Several models also came with special “Black Pack” options, which replaced the chrome roof arches and mirror covers with matte black, giving the RCZ an even more menacing and bespoke look.

PEUGEOT RCZ Interior

The interior of the Peugeot RCZ is a refined blend of sportiness and elegance, carefully crafted to deliver a premium driving experience. Inside, you’ll find snug, wrap-around sports seats with integral headrests that hug the driver and front passenger, giving an intimate, driver-focused feel. The dashboard features soft-touch materials, fine leather trim (available in two-tone finishes such as Frisson blue/Mistral black), and aluminium inserts for a high-quality, contemporary look. However, being a low-slung coupe, rear space is tight, the back seats are best suited for occasional use or children.

Performance of a Used PEUGEOT RCZ

The performance of the Peugeot RCZ is one of its most compelling aspects, it offers a sporty, engaging drive across a range of powertrains. The most common petrol engine is the 1.6 THP, available in multiple tunes: the 156 bhp version delivers 240 Nm of torque from as low as 1,400 rpm and accelerates to 62 mph in about 8 seconds. At the very top, the RCZ R boasts a 270 bhp 1.6 THP engine, 330 of torque, a 0-62 mph time of 5.9 seconds, and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h. On the diesel side, there’s a 2.0 HDi engine delivering around 163 bhp and strong torque, allowing a 0-62 mph sprint in about 8.7 seconds while returning excellent fuel economy.

Upgrade to the RCZ GT-line and you'll gain lavish interior materials as well as unique, sporty exterior features that help you stand out.
