2015 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · J90 SDM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 26 September 2024, which remains in force until late September 2025. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the record indicates a concerning trend regarding suspension health. The failed test on the same day as the pass reveals that the vehicle required significant intervention to address worn ball joints and suspension bushes before it could be deemed roadworthy. This suggests that while the vehicle is currently compliant, the mechanical upkeep has shifted from preventative maintenance to reactive repairs necessitated by component failure. The recorded mileage of 68,671 miles over eleven years aligns with typical usage patterns for this class of vehicle. The annual accumulation remained consistent between 2021 and 2023, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year during that period. However, the interval between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows a significant drop in usage, with only approximately 4,700 miles covered. This reduction in activity often leads to seized brake components or perished rubber seals, which should be considered when assessing the current condition of the vehicle. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the recent failure indicates high stress on these components. Although the ball joints and bushes were addressed, the underlying cause of such rapid wear can sometimes be linked to poor alignment or impact damage that may persist. Additionally, verify the condition of the rear brake pads noted as thinning in 2023, as these are consumable items that require monitoring. Given the recent history of suspension-related failures, listen for any knocking or metallic rattling during a test drive, particularly when navigating uneven road surfaces, to ensure that the previous repairs were executed to a high standard.
