2012 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · PY12 ADV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in October 2025 at 75,650 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test showed no defects, the immediate failure just six days prior highlighted critical brake wear, including paper-thin rear pads and severely weakened discs. This pattern suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they reach the point of failure, a habit that has persisted throughout the vehicle's life. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,650 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between 2019 and 2021, during which the car covered only 14,000 miles. This low-use profile correlates with the physical degradation noted in the records, such as the perishing rear tyre flagged in 2022 and persistent corrosion on brake lines. The vehicle likely sits for long periods, which often accelerates the aging of rubber components and the oxidation of exposed metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the history shows recurring issues with ball joints, track rod ends, and coil springs. The tester flagged multiple instances of play in suspension arms between 2022 and 2024, indicating the front-end geometry is prone to wear. Furthermore, the persistent mention of corroded brake pipes across multiple years from 2022 to 2024 suggests the hydraulic lines may be nearing total structural failure. Verification of the integrity of the seatbelts and the exhaust mounting is also required, as these have previously caused the vehicle to fail tests.
