2010 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · AF60 LKM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding front-end components. The most recent test in July 2025 at 108,807 miles flagged five separate advisories, indicating a shift from clean inspections to reactive repairs. While the car passed, the accumulation of defects related to the suspension, drivetrain, and braking suggests that the owner is only addressing issues as they approach failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year over its sixteen-year life. The car covered 5,022 miles between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 5,727 miles between June 2023 and July 2024. This low annual mileage likely contributes to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as the perished tyres and deteriorated CV boot noted in 2025, which fail due to age and environmental exposure rather than high distance driven. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry in person, as the record shows a recurring history of wear in ball joints. The nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and track rod end were flagged for play in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting the steering assembly is nearing end of its life. The inner drive shaft CV boot remained severely deteriorated for two consecutive years; this component now risks grease leakage which will lead to catastrophic joint failure if not replaced immediately. The braking system requires urgent attention as the offside front inner brake pads were recorded as wearing thin in the July 2025 test. Additionally, both front tyres show signs of cracking and perishing, indicating the rubber is aged despite potentially low tread depth. Given the history of multiple suspension failures, a thorough check of the lower arm bushings and integrity is necessary to ensure no structural corrosion has developed undetected.
