NISSAN JUKE2014 · 1.6L PETROL

The 2014 Nissan Juke has a recent MOT history with a mix of passes and a notable failure. The most recent entry on 2025-12-19 shows a pass at 63,187 miles, but a failure on the same date at 63,184 miles. The failure cited "Nearside Front Suspension arm ball joint excessively worn" under regulation 5.3.4 (a) (i). This suggests a critical suspension component was compromised, potentially affecting handling and safety. The vehicle’s low mileage (63,187 miles over 12 years, ~5,266 miles per year) indicates light use or extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to component stiffness or corrosion. The pattern of defects is limited but concerning. A single suspension issue in 2025-12-19 contrasts with earlier clean MOTs (2024-12-17, 2023-12-28, 2023-01-18). The 2023-01-18 MOT noted a "Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge," which may reflect uneven wear or alignment issues. No other defects were recorded in the prior three years, suggesting the vehicle was otherwise well-maintained. However, the 2025 suspension failure raises questions about whether the issue was newly developed or had been present but unaddressed.
