2015 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · S7 CRD

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 16 July 2025 at 53,251 miles, confirming its roadworthiness. The maintenance trend is concerning, as the vehicle consistently fails its initial inspection before passing two days later. While the most recent test resulted in a clean pass, the preceding failure highlighted significant mechanical neglect, specifically regarding brake pipe corrosion and worn rear discs. This pattern suggests that the vehicle is only being brought up to a legal standard under the immediate pressure of an MOT failure rather than through proactive, preventative servicing. With a recorded mileage of 53,251 over eleven years, the vehicle averages approximately 4,841 miles per annum. This low usage is consistent across the documented history, with steady annual increments of roughly 4,000 miles between July 2023 and July 2025. The absence of long periods of inactivity indicates the car has been in regular, albeit light, use. However, the low mileage has not prevented the development of age-related deterioration, particularly regarding rubber components and metal corrosion, which are often exacerbated by short, infrequent journeys that fail to bring the engine and exhaust system up to optimal operating temperatures. A prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2025 failure for excessively corroded front brake pipes indicates that the underbody may be prone to oxidation, necessitating a check for further structural corrosion on the chassis and subframes. Given the 2024 failure involving multiple suspension components, including ball joints and bushes, the handling and steering feedback should be assessed for any play or knocking noises. You should also verify if the rear brake discs were replaced or merely cleaned, as their previous state of significant wear often points to seized calipers or neglected maintenance that could recur if not properly addressed by a qualified technician.
