2017 NISSAN JUKE1.2L Petrol

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a persistent trend of neglected rear tyre condition. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 38,043 miles passed, the tester flagged advisories for both rear tyres due to cracking and perishing. This issue is a recurring theme dating back to 2022, indicating that the tyres are being replaced based on age and rubber degradation rather than tread depth alone. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. The record shows consistent annual usage, such as the jump from 27,358 miles in September 2021 to 30,220 miles in September 2022. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long periods of inactivity between tests likely explain the premature deterioration of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the six-year-old perished tyres noted during the 2023 test. A buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment. The repeated inner-edge wear noted on the rear tyres between 2022 and 2024 suggests a persistent camber issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been addressed. Additionally, the front wiper blades should be checked for quality, as the 2022 failure indicated a failure to clear the windscreen effectively. Given the low mileage, also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting which often occurs with infrequent travel.
