2017 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · AD52 HUT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and component degradation. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 33,490 miles secured a pass, it introduced multiple advisories that were not present in previous years. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to a series of suspension and braking issues suggests that the vehicle is beginning to show age-related fatigue. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old Nissan Juke, averaging only approximately 3,700 miles per year. However, low-frequency use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid systems rather than mechanical wear. Between July 2022 and August 2025, the car covered only 9,425 miles, indicating long periods of standing or very short trips. This inactivity likely correlates with the corrosion found on the brake pipes and the wear of suspension arm bushes noted in the latest de-fect report. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking system and suspension geometry. The August 2025 test flagged both front brake pipes as corroded and covered in grease, which may indicate an attempt to mask surface rust or poor maintenance of fluid lines. Furthermore, the rear bushes on both front lower suspension arms are showing signs of wear. Although these did not cause a failure yet, they are likely to require replacement soon to prevent handling instability and uneven tyre wear. The recurring advisory of an insecure battery across the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a lack of attention to basic securing checks. While this is a minor fault, the buyer should also verify that the washer system was properly rectified following the failure in September 2024. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for cracking in rubber hoses and flat spotting on tyres, which are common in vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
