Which Peugeot RCZ years should I avoid?

The Peugeot RCZ build year that fails most for its age is 2010: index 105.7 (95% CI 102.3–109.0) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 10,002).

Build year matters for the Peugeot RCZ: 2010 Peugeot RCZ models fail more than their age would predict, 2015 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.

Does the Peugeot RCZ fail inspections in other countries too?

In the Netherlands, 48.2% of Peugeot RCZ models failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 50.8% for all cars there (2024 by country, n = 1,255 inspections).

Both readings are shown: this comparison changes when usage or inspection rules differ.

Inspections abroad disagree: none point the same way as Britain, the Netherlands do not. Test rules, climate and how the vehicles are used differ, so both readings are shown.
