2015 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Petrol · SF65 CHN

The most recent MOT record for this 2015 Peugeot Horizon, tested just 10 months ago on 2025-09-08, confirms the vehicle passed without any defects—though it follows an unusual pattern of two consecutive failures in April 2025, both at 69,765 miles , before passing again in March 2024 at 57,421 miles . The lack of recorded defects in either pass or fail tests suggests the vehicle was either repaired between failures or that the issues were non-structural and resolved quickly. However, the repeated failures at the same mileage—despite identical readings—raise suspicion of either a test centre error or a recurring, intermittent fault that was not consistently identified. The most recent pass indicates the vehicle is currently compliant, but the irregularities warrant closer scrutiny of components prone to sudden failure, such as braking systems or suspension elements. The mileage progression of 6,807 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, though the abrupt jump from 57,421 miles in March 2024 to 69,765 miles by April 2025 —a 12,344-mile increase in just over a year —implies either a period of heavy usage or a mileage reset. The subsequent 5,108 miles covered between April and September 2025 suggests the vehicle was either stored or used sparingly after the failures. The absence of any advisory notes in the MOT history means no partial failures were recorded, but the gaps between tests—particularly the five-month interval between failures —could indicate delayed servicing or a lack of proactive maintenance. Given the lack of specific defect details in the MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of braking systems , particularly the rear calipers and discs, as the repeated failures at the same mileage may point to binding or uneven wear. Suspension components—including coil springs, bushes, and track rods —should be examined for wear or corrosion, especially given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The exhaust system and structural underbody should also be checked for corrosion, as rust can compromise safety-critical elements over time. While the MOT history shows no major structural failures, the irregular test outcomes suggest a history of either inconsistent repairs or overlooked maintenance, making thorough pre-purchase checks essential.
