2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · VO14 AEE

The 2014 Nissan Juke shows an inconsistent maintenance history characterized by reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent MOT test on 23 October 2025 at 106,026 miles passed with no defects, suggesting the immediate mechanical issues have been addressed, the previous records reveal a pattern of neglect. In October 2024 at 100,518 miles, the vehicle failed due to critical tyre failures, including an offside front tyre with exposed cords and tread depth below the legal limit, alongside corrosion on both front shock absorber casings. This indicates that the owner only addressed essential safety components once a test failure was issued. The vehicle has covered a consistent average of approximately 8,800 miles per year, which is typical for its age. However, the technical data highlights recurring wear in the suspension and braking systems. In November 2023, at 95,269 miles, the tester identified excessive play in the offside front track rod end ball joint alongside defective wipers and headlamps. Similarly, the March 2021 at 73,363 miles saw the vehicle fail for worn lower suspension arm ball joints and thin brake pads with pitted discs. These repeated failures in steering and suspension components suggest that parts are often only replaced when they reach the point of failure. The current state of the vehicle appears stable following the clean pass in late 2025, but the history warrants caution. A buyer should specifically inspect the front shock absorbers for signs of continued leaking or structural degradation, as corrosion was previously noted in 2024. Given the history of worn ball joints and track rod ends, a thorough check of the entire front geometry and steering linkage is necessary to ensure no other deteriorating components are nearing the end of their functional life.
