2015 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · KE15 AEZ

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 31 March 2026 at 62 578 miles with no recorded defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows clear improvement; earlier failures such as the 2023 headlamp aim fault, shock‑absorber oil mist, and 2022 lower suspension arm ball‑joint wear have been resolved, and recent advisories are limited to minor wear items. Mileage progression has been steady over the car’s life. From 24 738 miles in July 2018 the figure rose to 62 578 miles in March 2026, averaging roughly 5 700 miles per year—an unusually low rate for an 11‑year‑old model. MOT entries are annual and the most recent test falls only four months before the present date, indicating up‑to‑date records with no unexplained gaps or sudden mileage spikes. A pre‑purchase inspection should focus on the front suspension system, where the upper anti‑roll bar ball‑joint dust cover was severely deteriorated in 2024 and 2025, the track‑rod end dust cover showed damage in 2025, and a lower suspension arm ball joint was excessively worn in 2022. Brake condition is a recurring concern; thin front pads were noted in 2019, rear pad wear in 2022, and a fluctuating service brake advisory appeared in 2025. Minor issues such as an oil leak, the 2023 headlamp aim fault, and shock‑absorber oil mist should also be examined. Tyre wear at the legal limit was recorded in 2021, and the 2018 child‑seat belt inspection remains a point to verify. Checking suspension bushings, ball‑joint dust covers, pad thickness, rotors, and oil leakage will give a clear picture of the car’s mechanical state.
