2017 Peugeot Horizon 1.6L Diesel · SF67 AWH

The 2017 Peugeot Horizon has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with no recurring defects or advisories across five tests. The most recent examination on 2026-01-21 confirmed full compliance, though the duplicate entry at the same date and mileage suggests a potential administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. No structural, braking, or emissions failures have been recorded, indicating consistent adherence to UK roadworthiness standards. The absence of advisories—particularly for high-wear components like suspension bushes or brake calipers—implies the vehicle has likely undergone regular servicing, though this cannot be confirmed without service records. The recorded mileage of 41,102 miles at the latest test reflects an unusually low annual average of approximately 4,567 miles, which is well below the typical 8,000–10,000 miles per year for a vehicle of this age. This pattern suggests prolonged periods of inactivity or light use, which may have mitigated some wear but could also indicate storage-related risks, such as flat tyres, battery discharge, or corrosion from moisture accumulation. Notably, the mileage jumped from 33,556 miles in April 2025 to 53,194 miles by July 2024—a 19,638-mile increase in just under a year—before resetting to 41,102 miles by January 2026. While this spike could imply recent high usage, the subsequent drop raises questions about odometer accuracy or inconsistent recording. The gap between tests (up to 11 months) is within MOT regulations but does not provide confidence in consistent maintenance intervals. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are common failure points in this model. The rapid mileage increase between 2024 and 2025 warrants scrutiny of brake discs and pads for uneven wear, as high mileage accumulation can accelerate friction material degradation. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and underbody, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should also be verified, as the absence of MOT failures does not preclude gradual degradation. Finally, the battery and electrical system should be tested, as low mileage can lead to parasitic drain or sulfation over time.
