2015 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SF15 ETE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 22 May 2026 at 31,316 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs following immediate failures, as evidenced by the failure for an offside rear brake pipe leak just two days prior to the passing test. While the car currently holds a clean certificate, the history of intermittent failures suggests the owner typically addresses mechanical defects only when prompted by the MOT tester rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,850 miles per year. There are significant gaps in usage, such as the 3,600-mile interval covered between March 2021 and February 2022, and another 3,600 miles between November 2024 and June 2025. Such low-frequency use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to perishation, which is consistent with the multiple failures involving split CV boots and fractured springs noted in the record. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record highlights a recurring issue with fractured coil springs at both 16,368 and 20,002 miles, indicating the suspension components may be under stress or prone to fatigue failure. The recent failure of the hydraulic brake pipe at 31,315 miles necessitates a check of the entire line for corrosion or weeping that might have been missed. Additionally, the previous history of split CV boots and an insecure fuel tank strap suggests that underbody mountings and rubber boots require thorough attention to ensure no further structural issues remain.
