2018 NISSAN JUKE1.5L Diesel

The vehicle currently holds a positive roadworthiness status following a clean pass on July 31, 2025, 51,437 miles. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement after a period of neglect regarding mechanical components. While the vehicle failed two consecutive tests due to significant mechanical faults, the most recent inspection indicates no outstanding defects, suggesting that the previously flagged issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently maintained to a passing standard. At 51,437 miles over eight years, the Juke has averaged approximately 6,430 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a passenger car. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between July 2023 and August 2024, and over 15,000 miles covered between August 2024 and July 2025. This recent spike suggests the vehicle is currently used regularly, which helps prevent seal degradation and rubber components. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension, as the nearside front suspension arm ball joint was a recurring point of failure. It showed slight play in 2023 and progressed to a likely detachment failure in 2024 at 36,189 miles. Although this was rectified, a physical inspection should check for any remaining play in the ball joints or steering bushings to ensure the repair was comprehensive. The history also reveals a pattern of ignoring tyre maintenance, with multiple failures for tread depth at or below the legal limit. The buyer should verify the current tyre tread depth and check for uneven wear, as the previous edge wear indicates potential alignment issues.
