2018 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SF18 HPC

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend, moving from significant consumable failures to a clean pass in its most recent inspection. The December 2023 test at 24,635 miles initially resulted in a failure due to a non-functioning nearside dipped beam headlamp, but the subsequent pass indicates this minor electrical issue was rectified. This follows a period of more substantial mechanical attention required in mid-2022. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,079 miles per year. The records show a steady, albeit slow, accumulation of distance, with the mileage rising from 14,137 in June 2021 to 24,635 by December 2023. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain, the gaps between tests and the specific nature of the faults suggest the car may spend extended periods stationary. A buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and braking components. The June 2022 test at 19,234 miles revealed multiple tyre defects, including cuts reaching the cords and nails, alongside front brake pads measuring less than 1.5mm and worn brake discs. Although these were addressed to achieve the subsequent pass, the history of sidewall damage and scrubbing on the nearside front tyre in June 2021 suggests a potential need to check wheel alignment or suspension geometry. The lack of recorded structural corrosion or suspension bush issues is positive, but the pattern of tyre damage warrants a physical inspection of the current tread and sidewall integrity. Given the low annual usage, checking the battery health and ensuring all rubber components have not perished from lack of movement would be prudent steps before purchase.
