Every Peugeot Rcz model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2011 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Peugeot Rcz:

What this means if you are buying a 2011 Rcz
The 2011 is a weaker year for this model, passing 4.5 points less often than the Peugeot Rcz average. Some of that is simply age, so compare it against the 2011 figure for all cars above rather than against newer examples.

What a 15-year-old car fails on
A 2011 car is 15 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures. On a 2011 Peugeot Rcz the average at test was 81,443 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
The strongest year for this model is 2016 at 82.8%, and the weakest in our data is 2011 at 67.4%. That 15.4 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2011 car against a newer one tells you very little.
