2014 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SF64 EOH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in February 2025. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent failure in February 2025 at 28,527 miles highlighted a fractured offside rear coil spring, worn front brake pads, and a faulty wiper blade. While these issues were addressed to secure the subsequent pass, the recurring failures suggest that components are only serviced once they reach a point of failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, covering only 28,527 miles at an average of approximately 2,400 miles per year. This low usage explains the presence of age-related degradation rather than wear from distance. Between February 2022 and February 2025, the car covered just 7,017 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or very light use. Such patterns often lead to the perishing of rubber components, as seen in the multiple advisories regarding perished tyres and corro springs across the record. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension closely, as the coil springs have been flagged for corrosion and structural failure since 2020. The progression from slight corrosion to a complete fracture in 2025 indicates that the metal is susceptible to rapid environmental degradation. Additionally, the tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking and dry rot, as the history consistently shows the rubber breaking down despite having low tread depth. The braking system and wiper assembly should also be verified, as the most recent failure for thin pads and ineffective wipers suggests these consumables are frequently neglected between routine intervals.
