2017 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SD17 ONR

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend following a minor setback. The most recent inspection on March 4, 2025 at 12,379 miles returned no defects, indicating that the previous mechanical issues have been rectified. This suggests the vehicle has returned to a baseline of cleanliness. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,375 miles per annum. A significant discrepancy exists between the December 2021 test at 9,848 miles and the December 2022 test at 17,415 miles, where the car covered nearly 7,500 miles in a single year. However, the usage has dropped sharply since, with the December 2023 test recording 18,695 miles and the December 2024 test showing only 41 miles of travel. This erratic pattern suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which can lead to rubber degradation and fluid stagnation despite the low odometer. A buyer should inspect the exhaust system specifically, as the December 2023 test flagged a defective central exhaust mounting. While this was passed in subsequent tests, low-use vehicles often suffer from corrosion on hangers and mounting brackets. Given the long periods of inactivity, a physical inspection must check for binding brake calipers or seized calipers, as these are common failure points for cars that are not driven regularly. The interior should also be verified to ensure all rear seating is present and correctly secured, as the record noted missing rear seats in 2023.
