PEUGEOT HORIZON2017 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2017 Peugeot Horizon shows a sound roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the latest DVSA test on 4 August 2025 at 22,936 miles which returned a pass and recorded no defects or advisories. Across the full five-year record the vehicle cleared every examination first time. This consistent compliance signals no worsening mechanical or structural issues surfacing in official testing. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,548 miles per year. The odometer moved from 11,248 miles at the August 2021 test to 17,252 miles by July 2022, a 6,004-mile spell of regular-ish use. Subsequent readings show a sharp slowdown: only 985 miles to July 2023 and 449 miles to August 2024, indicating the Horizon spent long periods stationary. A modest rebound to 22,936 miles by August 2025 added 4,250 miles. The test cadence remained unbroken, so the sparse but clean history offers little evidence of deferred maintenance. With no recurring faults or advisories logged, the buyer cannot point to a pattern of suspension wear, brake imbalance, or corrosion. Still, extended standing between 2022 and 2024 raises the risk of perished suspension bushes, binding calipers, and surface rust on brake discs unseen by testers. A physical inspection should scrutinise the underbody for structural integrity and check exhaust emissions components for internal decay. Tyres may exhibit sidewall cracking from age rather than tread wear. Previous keepers presented the vehicle with no minor consumable defects such as wiper blades or lamp failures, which suggests care at the point of test. The low-mileage profile means mechanical fatigue of drivetrain components is likely minimal, but a pre-purchase check of coil springs and steering joints remains prudent given the vehicle's age.
