2013 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SD63 DSO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a persistent issue with fluid loss that requires monitoring. The most recent test in September 2025 at 153,053 miles confirmed a pass despite a recurring oil leak, which appeared in the last three consecutive tests. While the car continues to pass inspections, the persistence of this leak suggests the owner has been managing the symptom rather than repairing the root cause, potentially leading to further component degradation over time. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. There was a notable period of nearly 15,000 miles covered between April 2023 and August 2024, followed by roughly 5,800 miles between August 2024 and September 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly rather than left sitting idle, which explains the standard wear seen on mechanical components like brakes and suspension at this high-mile mark. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system based on defects flagged in 2024. The tester identified thin front brake pads and corroded discs, alongside a rattle on the near offside front suspension. While these were not listed as failures in the latest test, the buyer must verify that the suspension bushes and dampers have been addressed to eliminate the noise. The recurring oil leak also warrants a professional pressure test to determine if it is a simple gasket leak or a more significant engine seal failure that could compromise the drivetrain in the long term.
