2018 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SF18 HBN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026. The maintenance trend shows minor but recurring oversights. The latest test at 36,353 miles recorded a failure for an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. This follows a pattern of minor electrical and securing issues in 2024 and 2025, suggesting a lack of pre-test inspections by the previous owner rather than systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 32,155 miles and April 2026 at 36,353 miles, the car covered only 4,198 miles. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as seals and tyres, which aligns with the issues noted in the record. A buyer should pay close attention to the engine bay regarding the oil leak noted in 2022. Although it was described as not excessive at the time, such leaks can worsen if the vehicle sits for extended periods. The 2023 test also highlighted three tyres reaching the legal limit and defective rear exhaust mountings. While these were likely replaced, the current state of the tyres should be inspected for flat-spotting or cracking given the age and low annual usage. The recurring failures related to registration plate lamps indicate a history of neglecting minor lighting faults. A physical inspection should verify that all external lighting is currently functional and securely fastened. The record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or serious brake issues, which is a positive indicator for a Peugeot of this age.
