2017 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SD17 PWY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a maintenance trend showing improvement over time. The most recent test conducted in July 2022 at 9,424 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were addressed, and the vehicle was in a clean mechanical state as of the last recorded inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,047 miles per year. Between July 2020 and August 2021, the car covered only 880 miles, while it added another 502 miles in the year leading up to the 2022 test. This low usage suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary. However, long periods of inactivity at low mileage can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components regardless of the low tread depth. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres and brakes, as the August 2021 test at 8,922 miles flagged perishing and cracking on all four tyres. Low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from dry rot on the sidewalls before the tread reaches legal limits. The 2020 failure for a defective exhaust mounting at 8,042 miles also suggests that rubber components may be prone to age-related decay, which should be checked for cracks or brittleness. Given the Motability adaptation, verifying the integrity of the modified suspension components and brake calipers is essential to ensure the system has not seized due to sparse use.
