2015 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Petrol · SF65 CVY

Persistent structural and consumable component wear defines the mechanical history of this 2015 Peugeot Horizon, which accumulated a dangerous tyre failure alongside a pass on March 2, 2026, at 101,490 miles. The overall roadworthiness trend displays recurrent issues with suspension components, braking systems, and tyre degradation across multiple annual inspections. Previous tests show repeated failures and advisories, including a 2025 test that recorded fractured rear coil springs and a split constant velocity boot, alongside recurring tyre and brake disc advisories spanning several years. With an odometer reading of 101,490 miles amassed over roughly eleven years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,226 miles annually. This usage pattern reflects typical mileage accumulation for a multi-purpose accessibility vehicle of this age, indicating steady operational use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or extreme high mileage. Mechanically, this consistent mileage level means that standard wear and tear items such as suspension mountings, steering linkages, and drivetrain joints have been subjected to continuous regular loading. Prospective buyers must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the specific components highlighted in the MOT records. Pay close attention to the rear suspension system, checking the coil springs for any remaining signs of corrosion or fresh fracture points, and listen for any knocking or crashing noises from the rear axle when driving over rough road surfaces or speed bumps. The front brake discs were most recently noted as worn, pitted, or scored alongside thinning rear inner brake pads, so test-drive evaluation should include checking for a firm brake pedal feel, absence of brake judder under deceleration, and straight-line pulling. Further inspection should target the front driveshaft CV boots, ensuring no grease leakage is present following previous boot failure, and check all four tyre shoulders for uneven wear given the frequent history of edge wear and illegal tread depths. Additionally, verify that all exterior lighting functions correctly, particularly checking the registration plate lamps, and inspect the indicator lenses for the reported slight discolouration to ensure proper amber light emission.
