2015 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SF15 EKG

The vehicle shows a history of high-mileage usage, averaging over 22,000 miles per year. The most recent MOT was conducted in September 2024 at 250,905 miles, which passed following a failure just six days prior. While the car currently holds a certificate, the record reveals a recurring pattern of reactive maintenance where faults are only addressed immediately before the test. The 2024 failure was particularly extensive, involving inoperative power steering, ABS and stability control faults, and a fractured front coil spring, suggesting that significant mechanical issues were overlooked until the test mandated repairs. Suspension and braking components show consistent wear and degradation over time. The rear coil springs have been flagged for corrosion in every test since 2020, a persistent issue that eventually culminated in the September 2024 failure when the offside front coil spring finally fractured. The 2024 test also noted wear on the nearside front lower suspension arm bushes and oil misting on the front shock absorbers. The braking system is frequently noted for worn discs and thin pads, which is expected at this mileage, but the repeated mention of thin pads suggests that intervals between service replacements may be long. The engine bay shows signs of ongoing neglect, with oil leaks recorded as excessive in September 2024 but reduced to non-excessive by the re-test six days later. The offside front drive shaft boot was found severely deteriorated in 2024, which poses a high risk of joint failure if not monitored or replaced. Given the high mileage and the recurring failures of electronic-related components like the ABS system, a thorough mechanical inspection of the drivetrain and structural integrity of the chassis is required to ensure no deep-seated issues exist beyond the recorded advisories.
