How many Peugeot RCZ cars are left in Great Britain?
There were 9,072 Peugeot RCZ cars licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 1,203 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 22.3% fewer than the peak of 11,679 in 2016.
Peugeot RCZ cars licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2016 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
In 2025, 63.2% of Peugeot RCZ MOT tests were passed first time,
against 72.8% for all cars.
Cars of the same ages as the Peugeot RCZ cars tested pass 65.9% of the time, so the Peugeot RCZ does worse than average for its age, by 2.7 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 65.1%.

appearing on 42.5% of failed tests. A failed test can have defects in
more than one category, so shares add up to more than 100%.
7.5% of Peugeot RCZ tests found at least one dangerous defect, against 7.3% for all cars.

Most common Peugeot RCZ MOT defects and advisories
The single most common reason a Peugeot RCZ failed its MOT in 2025 was
“Coil spring: fractured or broken”, on 23.6% of 3,798 failed tests.
57.0% of tests ended with at least one advisory, a problem to watch that did not fail the test; the most common was “Tread depth: worn close to legal limit or worn on edge”.
The same fault on any wheel or side counts once.

6 years of the Peugeot RCZ, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2011 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (61.1% passed first time) and the 2010 cars worst (55.6%).
Registered: cars on the DVLA record at the end of the year they were first registered (these counts start in 2014, so older years show a dash). Left:

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN
excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page.
How we use engine sizes.
Peugeot RCZ fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Peugeot RCZ from 2010 to 2015. On the NEDC test (listings 2010 to 2015), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 38.7 to 56.5 mpg, with CO2 of 130 to 168 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2010 to 2015
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2010 to 2015
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “RCZ”, “RCZ, From May 2010 onwards”, “RCZ-R”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Peugeot RCZ safety recalls
DVSA lists 3 safety recalls for the Peugeot RCZ since 1992, the first in 2010. The most recent was launched on 9 December 2015.
Fuel may leak
Launched 9 December 2015DVSA recall R/2015/241Manufacturer ref. ZZV
Defect
The fuel heating device integrated in to the diesel fuel filter cover may be defective and allow heat to build up within the electrical supply connector causing the cover to distort and air to enter the fuel circuit. This could make the vehicles difficult to start and a warning light will be illuminated on the dash board. The engine could be difficult or not possible to start. In the worst cases a diesel fuel leak could eventually appear.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel heater cover. Additionally the electrical connector will be inspected and where necessary replaced.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Peugeot RCZ. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
