NISSAN JUKE2016 · 1.5L Diesel

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. The most recent test in June 2025 at 85,198 miles passed with only an advisory for a perishing offside rear tyre. This represents an improvement from the November 2024 failure where the car was rejected for multiple mechanical and safety issues. The trend suggests the owner only addresses significant faults once they result in an MOT failure. The mileage progression is consistent with a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There was a significant gap of 11,000 miles covered between December 2023 (66,606 miles) and November 2024 (77,541 miles), followed by another 7,600 miles in the subsequent seven months. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting, which explains the standard wear on consumable items like tyres and suspension components noted in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front-end suspension and tyre integrity. The November 2024 failure flagged an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which indicates significant stress on the steering geometry. Furthermore, the recurring reports of tyres worn to the legal limit or on the edges across 2024 tests suggest potential alignment issues or neglected tyre pressures. The offside rear tyre was noted as cracking and perishing in 2025, which should be checked for dry rot if replaced. The braking system also requires close attention due to the December 2023 failure for front brake pads being below the 1.5mm threshold. While these were likely replaced following the failure, the buyer should inspect the remaining discs for uneven wear or thinness. The presence of child seats during multiple tests also prevented full inspections of the seat belts, so the buyer must manually verify the tensioning and condition of all adult seatbelts during the viewing.
