2011 NISSAN JUKE1.6L Diesel

The 2026‑03‑12 MOT at 119,871 miles resulted in a pass, yet the vehicle’s maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring defects rather than steady improvement. The preceding 2026‑03‑11 test at the same mileage recorded a failed status due to a torn off‑side front tyre, an obviously incorrect headlamp aim and insecure bulb, while the rear wiper was noted as worn. Repeated findings of excessive wear on the front suspension ball joints and persistent brake disc pitting indicate a trend that is not stabilising. The mileage trajectory reveals accelerated usage: from 75,671 miles in December 2020 the odometer rose to 119,871 miles by March 2026, averaging over 13,000 miles per year, well above the typical 8,000‑mile annual figure for a 15‑year‑old car. Gaps such as the 6,645‑mile increase between December 2020 and February 2022 and the 19,877‑mile jump from March 2025 to March 2026 further confirm heavy, uneven use. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension ball joints for excessive play or binding, examine the brake discs for pitting, scoring and thickness, verify tyre tread depth and look for structural separation, test the rear wiper operation, and confirm the headlamp aim and bulb security, as these items have repeatedly appeared on the record. Further checks of structural integrity, exhaust condition and current emissions are advisable, especially given the high annual mileage, to ensure no hidden corrosion or wear compromises the vehicle’s long‑term roadworthiness.
