2016 NISSAN JUKE1.6L PETROL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of worsening mechanical wear and neglect. While it passed the latest test in October 2025 at 53,049 miles, the tester identified structural corrosion on the front sub-frame and play in the offside front lower suspension ball joint. This represents a regression from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2023, indicating that components are now beginning to fail despite the low mileage. At 53,049 miles over ten years, the Juke averages approximately 5,300 miles per annum, which is significantly below the national average. The mileage data shows a consistent but low usage pattern, with only 5,518 miles covered between September 2024 and October 2025. However, the low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the perished suspension bushes and deteriorated CV joint boot recorded in the September 2024 test, suggesting the vehicle may have sat for long periods or been used on short trips without thorough maintenance. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front sub-frame to ensure the corrosion noted in 2025 does not progress toward structural failure. The recurring issues with the lower suspension arms and ball joints, which appeared in both 2024 and 2025, suggest the entire front-end geometry requires a comprehensive overhaul. Additionally, the binding nearside front brake caliper from late 2024 should be checked for a seized piston, and the tyres must be inspected for the dry rot and cracking mentioned in previous advisories, as low-use vehicles often suffer from aged rubber compounds.
