2018 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · KG02 ABG

The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. When evaluating the overall maintenance trend, the vehicle shows signs of proactive attention to wear-and-tear items. While the 2023 and 2024 tests highlighted specific advisories regarding tyre condition and braking components, the clean result in 2025 suggests that these issues were likely rectified. This indicates a stable maintenance trajectory where identified faults are being addressed before they escalate into failures. With a recorded mileage of 62,269 over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,784 miles per year. This level of usage is considered typical for a modern passenger vehicle and suggests a balanced driving profile. It avoids the high-mileage wear associated with heavy commercial use while also avoiding the potential for fluid degradation and seal perishing often found in vehicles that spend long periods stationary. The mechanical components should be in a reasonable state of health, though standard age-related wear on consumables is expected. Given the previous advisories concerning the front braking system, a thorough inspection of the brake assembly is essential. You should check whether the front brake discs and pads were replaced following the 2024 advisory. During your test drive, listen for any metallic scraping or squealing and feel for any pulsation or shudder through the brake pedal, which could indicate warped or pitted discs. Additionally, pay close attention to the offside front brake to ensure the previous binding issue has been resolved; any pulling to one side during deceleration or excessive heat buildup in that specific wheel could indicate a sticking caliper or a faulty slider pin. Although the recent MOT was clear, the history of tyre damage and perishing warrants a close visual inspection of all four tyres. Examine the sidewalls for any signs of cracking, perishing, or cuts that may have been missed or have developed since the last test. Check for even tread wear across the width of the tyre to ensure the suspension bushes and tracking are in good order. Finally, because the vehicle is eight years old, verify the service book for evidence of time-based maintenance, specifically the replacement of brake fluid and engine coolant, as these are critical for long-term component integrity regardless of the relatively moderate mileage.
