2012 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SF62 GOP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 96,791 miles, this followed a significant failure just two days prior. The trend shows a cycle where critical components are only addressed after failing an MOT, rather than being serviced during routine intervals. The transition from fractured rear coil springs to corroded mountings in the December 2025 test suggests the suspension is beginning to age and reaching a point of structural degradation. At 14 years old, the car sits at 96,791 miles, representing an average usage of approximately 6,900 miles per year. This mileage is consistent with a low-use vehicle, yet the data shows periods of high activity, with over 15,000 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024, and another 8,500 miles in the year leading up to the 2025 failure. This fluctuating usage explains the accelerated wear on rubber components and lighting elements noted throughout the record. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the rear suspension geometry and structural integrity. The record specifically flags corrosion on the coil spring mountings and previous fractures in the springs themselves, which indicates that the metalwork is becoming susceptible to rust. The presence of a binding nearside rear service brake in the December 2025 failure suggests a sticking caliper or cylinder that requires thorough checking to ensure it is not causing excessive wear. Furthermore, the recurring failures for worn tyres and worn anti-roll bar ball joints suggest that the owner has neglected basic consumable maintenance until forced by a legal requirement.
