2018 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SF18 HBO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a clear trend of improvement following several failures. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 61,792 miles passed with no defects, following another clean pass just five days prior at slightly lower mileage. This indicates that the mechanical issues and wear-related failures identified in previous years have been addressed, and the car is currently meeting all minimum legal safety standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression of usage from 21,087 miles in March 2021 to 61,792 miles in February 2026. There is a notable spike in activity recorded between February 2025 and February 2026, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. This period of higher use likely explains the accelerated wear of consumables observed during that interval. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking and suspension systems, as these have been recurring points of failure. The 2022 test flagged thin brake pads, pitted discs, and corroded rear coil springs, while the 2024 failure highlighted thin brake pads across both axles. While the car has passed recently, a physical inspection should verify that the front brake discs have been replaced and that the corrosion on the rear coil springs has not progressed into structural fractures. The history also suggests a pattern of reactive maintenance regarding consumables, as evidenced by the 2024 failure where all four tyres were near the legal limit with edge wear. The buyer should check the current tread depth and look for uneven wear which might indicate alignment issues. Additionally, the missing under-trims and the windscreen stone chip noted in 2024 should be inspected to ensure all aerodynamic components are securely fastened and the windscreen de-icing has been properly cleared.
