2022 Peugeot Rifter Horizon RS Plus Auto

CarHunch analysed 117 real MOT records for the 2022 Peugeot Rifter Horizon RS Plus Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Peugeot Rifter Horizon RS Plus Auto is more reliable than average, with an 85.6% first-time pass rate that beats the UK average of 80% — and the dangerous defect rate of 6.8% is reassuringly low, suggesting this is a safe bet mechanically. These vehicles are running low mileage for their age (median 19,178 miles), which partly explains the strong pass rate, but they're already picking up an average of 1.4 advisories each, hinting at minor wear items to budget for soon.

With only 0.22 failures per vehicle across the dataset, the Rifter is proving itself solid in service, but the creeping advisory count suggests you should factor in routine maintenance when you buy — check the service history carefully and budget for brake pads and fluid top-ups in the next year or two.

What to check before buying a 2022 Peugeot Rifter Horizon RS Plus Auto

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.
