2014 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SF14 ACU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 64,411 miles resulted in a pass despite a severely deteriorated offside front outer drive shaft constant velocity boot. This follows a clean record in 2024, indicating that while the vehicle remains capable of passing inspections, components are only being addressed once they reach a point of failure or significant deterioration. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,368 miles per year. Data between September 2022 at 53,654 miles and September 2025 at 64,411 miles shows a consistent, low-intensity pattern of use. This low mileage typically suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion, as evidenced by the fractured coil spring and pitted brake discs found during the later-stage test cycles. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and braking system during a physical evaluation. The 2023 failure for pitted front brake discs and a fractured offside rear coil spring, followed by the 2025 advisory for a CV boot, suggests the lower mechanical components are susceptible to age-related fatigue and corrosion. Verify that the offside front outer drive shaft boot was actually replaced and check for signs of leaks or rust on the remaining coil springs. Given the low usage, a close look for brake caliper corrosion and chassis rust is also advisable, as stationary vehicles often suffer from structural oxidation that high-mileage cars avoid.
