Peugeot Horizon (2017)
2017 Peugeot Horizon
CarHunch analysed 1,445 real MOT records for the 2017 Peugeot Horizon. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2017 Peugeot Horizon passes its MOT on first attempt 84.4% of the time, which is a solid 4.4 percentage points above the UK average—suggesting these vans hold up reasonably well. However, 18.4% have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a meaningful concern for safety-conscious buyers, though petrol and diesel variants perform nearly identically (85.9% and 84.2% pass rates respectively).
At a median of 26,000 miles, these vehicles have covered modest distance for their age, yet they're accumulating 1.38 failures and 6.5 advisories per test on average, pointing to emerging wear in non-critical systems. If you're considering one, factor in that maintenance costs will probably climb from this point onward—get a full pre-purchase inspection with particular attention to structural and braking components.
What to check before buying a 2017 Peugeot Horizon
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
