2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · PX13 AYT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear degradation in the steering and braking systems. In the most recent test in February 2026 at 71,688 miles, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and play in the offside front steering rack inner joint. This follows a recurring advisory for thin front brake pads from the 2025 test at 67,121 miles, indicating that this component has not been addressed despite the interval between tests. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The record shows a clean period between 2016 and 2021 where no defects were recorded. However, since the 2021 test at 48,097 miles, the vehicle has seen over 23,000 miles and a significant increase in mechanical advisories. This suggests that while usage is low, the rubber components and metal joints are failing due to age and environmental exposure rather than sheer distance driven. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the history reveals a pattern of wear in track rod ends, ball joints, and now the steering rack inner joint. The recurring reports of tyres worn on the edges in 2023 and 2024 suggest potential persistent alignment issues or worn bushings that remain uncorrected. Furthermore, the braking system requires immediate attention, as the thin front pads have been noted across three consecutive years, implying that the previous owner has neglected routine consumable maintenance.
