NISSAN JUKE2016 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT on November 28, 2025, 34,514 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in front-end suspension integrity. The car failed just two days prior to that pass due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint. While this specific defect appears to have been rectified, the history of suspension wear suggests that components are reaching the end of their functional life despite the low mileage. At 34,514 miles over ten years, this Nissan Juke has averaged approximately 3,450 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. This low-usage pattern often indicates short trips, which can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake hardware. Between the April 2022 test at 24,815 miles and the 2024 test at 32,028 miles, the vehicle covered over 7,000 miles, indicating a period of higher activity followed by more recent shorter intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring issues with ball joints and arm bushes noted in 2023 and 2025 suggest that the rubber components are perishing due to age rather than wear from mileage. You should check for play in the lower control arms and inspect the condition of the bushings. Additionally, the 2024 advisories regarding uneven tyre wear and perished rubber indicate that the vehicle may have sat for long periods or suffered from alignment issues, which warrants a professional check of the current tyre set and tracking..
