2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · CV12 BAU

The latest MOT test outcome for this Nissan Juke was a pass on 25 February 2022, with no defects or advisories recorded. Although the record indicates a failure on the same date, the lack of specific defect details suggests that any issues were resolved immediately to meet compliance standards. However, there is a significant gap in the provided MOT history between February 2022 and the current date in September 2026. This lack of recent data means the maintenance trend cannot be verified, and you must confirm that the vehicle has undergone its mandatory annual testing to ensure it remains roadworthy and has not developed unrecorded faults. The vehicle has covered 102,642 miles over approximately 14 years, resulting in an average annual mileage of roughly 7,332 miles. This usage pattern is considered typical for a domestic vehicle and suggests a balanced level of wear across the drivetrain and chassis. While the mileage is not excessively high, it is sufficient to warrant a thorough inspection of wear-and-tear components. You should expect that components subject to friction and environmental exposure, such as brake pads, discs, and suspension elements, will require close scrutiny to ensure they have not reached the end of their functional lifespan. As the MOT history is sparse and lacks specific advisories, your physical inspection should prioritise age-related degradation. Closely examine the tyres for signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur due to ozone exposure even if the tread depth is adequate. Inspect the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting and listen for any signs of binding calipers or brake shudder during the test drive. Furthermore, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs by listening for any clunks or knocks when navigating uneven road surfaces, as these components often degrade with age regardless of total mileage. Finally, verify the vehicle's fluid health and rubber components. Check for any signs of weeping from the engine, gearbox, or shock absorbers, and inspect coolant hoses for brittleness or cracking. Given the age of the vehicle, it is essential to confirm that time-sensitive maintenance, such as brake fluid changes and oil service intervals, has been adhered to, as these are critical for preventing long-term component failure. A check of the 12V battery health and a thorough test of all electrical accessories will also be necessary to rule out age-related electrical instability.
