2011 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · NJ61 ADU

The 2025‑10‑13 MOT at 57,414 miles resulted in a FAILED outcome, confirming that the Nissan Juke is presently not roadworthy, and the maintenance trend shows a clear worsening pattern despite earlier passes. Repeated failures on suspension and braking components since 2024 indicate that previous remedial actions have not resolved underlying deficiencies. With 57,414 miles recorded after 15 years, the vehicle averages just over 3,800 miles per year, indicating relatively light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. Mileage increments between successive tests are modest, ranging from 2,274 miles (2023‑10‑16 to 2025‑10‑13) to 4,447 miles (2022‑10‑12 to 2024‑10‑01), showing no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation, though the interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests is only one year. A buyer should focus on the suspension system, particularly the front and rear ball joints, anti‑roll bar linkage, and suspension arm bushes, which have repeatedly shown cracked boots, excessive wear, or serious weakening. The rear shock absorber’s fluid leak and the deteriorated front suspension arm dust cover are serious mechanical concerns that require immediate attention. Tyre condition, especially the off‑side rear tyre perishing, and brake pad thickness, which has been recorded below the 1.5 mm limit since 2018, must be verified. Any oil leakage from the gearbox or front pads should also be examined. Given the concentration of faults on critical safety components, the vehicle’s roadworthiness is doubtful until these items are inspected and remedied, and the buyer should request evidence of recent repairs or replacement of the affected parts before proceeding.
