2017 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SF67 AVZ

The 2017 Peugeot Horizon has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, most recently passing on 8 December 2025 at 24,295 miles. This indicates a stable roadworthiness trend with no recurring issues or advisories, though the absence of defects does not preclude wear beyond MOT thresholds—such as minor suspension deterioration, brake pad life, or corrosion that may not yet require remedial action. The most recent test was conducted just over seven months ago, which is within the standard MOT validity period, though buyers should verify whether the vehicle has been driven regularly since then, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate component degradation. The recorded mileage of 24,295 miles over nine years suggests unusually light usage, averaging just under 2,700 miles annually. This pattern is notable for its consistency, with no abrupt jumps or prolonged stagnation—mileage remained static between the June 2023 and November 2023 tests (15,266 to 15,269 miles), indicating the vehicle may have been stored or rarely driven during that period. While low mileage generally reduces wear on high-stress components like brakes and drivetrain, it can also imply deferred maintenance, as some owners neglect servicing when vehicles are not frequently used. The absence of advisories or defects in these periods suggests either diligent upkeep or that any deferred maintenance was minimal. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components that often exceed MOT thresholds before failure: the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit dryness or cracking despite no recorded defects; the brake calipers and discs, which could show uneven wear or binding if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods; and the underbody for corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, where rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately affecting MOT passability. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or damage, as catalytic converter efficiency is not explicitly tested beyond emissions thresholds. While the record offers no red flags, these areas warrant closer examination to confirm they remain within safe operational limits.
