NISSAN JUKE2013 · 1.6L PETROL

The vehicle demonstrates a generally stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent 2025-08-04 MOT confirming no defects at 76,551 miles. Previous tests reveal minor, addressable issues: a 2024-08-29 failure for thin rear brake pads and a 2023-09-26 seatbelt malfunction, both of which were resolved in subsequent checks. No recurring mechanical or structural concerns are evident, suggesting consistent maintenance. The absence of critical failures in the latest test implies the car remains fit for use, though vigilance is advised for components flagged in prior records. The mileage of 76,551 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 5,889 annual miles, significantly below the UK average for this age. This low accumulation suggests infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which could affect fluid longevity and battery health. Gaps between MOTs of 12–13 months align with standard intervals, but the lack of intermediate checks means potential issues between tests remain unverified. The 2022–2023 period shows a 5,736-mile increase, followed by smaller annual increments, indicating steady but minimal usage. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the rear brake system, particularly the pads and calipers, given the 2024 defect. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, warrant scrutiny due to the car’s age and low mileage, which may mask wear from inactivity. The 2023 seatbelt failure highlights the need to verify all safety restraints function correctly. Additionally, corrosion in body seams or underbody panels should be checked, as low-mileage vehicles can develop rust if stored in damp conditions. The absence of exhaust or emissions-related issues in recent tests is positive, but a pre-purchase inspection should confirm overall drivetrain and structural integrity.
