NISSAN JUKE2012 · 1.5L DIESEL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards mechanical degradation in the most recent inspection. After three years of clean records between 2022 and 2025, the March 2026 test at 67,864 miles identified four distinct advisories across multiple systems. This indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related wear is beginning to manifest despite the relatively low mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,850 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns between 2022 and 2026, with annual increments of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles. While this low mileage suggests less mechanical stress on the engine and gearbox, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to time rather than use, which appears to be in the latest MOT results. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically addressing the noted corrosion on the rear sub-frame. While the tester deemed it not yet seriously weakened, rust on these components typically progresses if left untreated. The presence of corrosion on both nearside and offside rear brake hose ferrules suggests the hydraulic lines are beginning to perish and should be monitored for leaks or structural failure over time. The suspension also requires attention due to the worn bush on the offside front lower suspension arm. This fault can affect steering precision and cause uneven tyre wear, as evidenced by the nearside front tyre reaching the legal limit and showing edge wear. A buyer should verify the condition of all remaining suspension bushes and ensure the front control arm is replaced to prevent further damage to the drivetrain components.
