2016 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · FA16 ALG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of developing suspension and brake-related wear. The most recent test in March 2026 at 43,495 miles flagged a slight play in the offside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. This follows a pattern of minor mechanical degradation identified over the previous years. While the car has consistently passed its tests, the frequency of-related advisories suggests that components are being replaced as they approach failure rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 10 years old, this de-registered Nissan Juke has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,350 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine, yet it can lead to specific issues if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Between February 2024 and March 2026, the car covered 13,287 miles, showing a recent spike in usage compared to its historical average. Such low-mile operation often results in accelerated aging of rubber components and corrosion on brake surfaces despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should inspect the front-end assembly closely, as the record shows recurring issues with the steering rack inner joints, suspension arm bushes, and anti-roll bar links. The 2025 test noted blue smoke during acceleration and pitted front brake discs, which are concerning for a low-mileage vehicle as they indicate potential oil consumption or corrosion due to infrequent use. Additionally, the misting on the offside rear shock absorber noted in 2023 should be checked for active leaks. The history of uneven edge-wear on multiple tyres also suggests that alignment issues or worn bushes require professional verification to prevent further premature tyre failure.
