2015 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · BU15 AEM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT in March 2026 with 89,792 miles and no defects recorded. However, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance where the owner consistently addresses faults only after a failure rather than performing preventative servicing. While the most recent test is clean, the overall trend shows that mechanical components are frequently allowed to wear to the point of legal or functional failure before being replaced. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. The record shows steady progression, moving from 17,478 miles in 2018 to 89,792 miles in 2026. This consistent usage suggests the car has been used for regular commuting rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components, though the steady annual mileage explains the recurring wear on rubber parts and braking systems seen throughout the logs. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as this area is a recurring failure point. The anti-roll bar linkage ball joints were flagged for excessive wear in 2025 and were noted as having play in 2022. Additionally, the offside lower suspension arm ball joint showed issues in 2022. You must also inspect the CV boot on the offside front drive shaft, as a split boot caused a failure in 2024; ensure the replacement was completed correctly to prevent premature joint failure. The braking system also shows a history of neglect, with front and rear pads failing for being thin in 2020 and 2023. Given that the vehicle also failed for tyres below the legal limit in 2023, a physical inspection of the current tyre depth and disc surface pitting or uneven wear is essential. The previous history of issues with wipers and washers indicates that basic consumable items are often overlooked until they fail an MOT test.
