2016 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · AV16 YCL

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and shows a worsening trend in its mechanical condition. The most recent test on June 4, 2026 at 76,215 miles resulted in multiple failures including thin front brake pads, worn discs, and an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. While the vehicle passed in 2025, the progression from slight play in suspension components to outright failure suggests a failure to address developing mechanical issues before they reached a safety threshold. At 76,215 miles over ten years, the Juke averages approximately 7,600 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small crossover. The data shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 4,500 miles driven between May 2025 and June 2026. However, the low mileage does not correlate with preventative maintenance, as the front suspension ball joint was noted as an advisory as early as 2023 and 2024 but was not replaced until it caused a recent failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the nearside and offside ball joints have been flagged for wear across three consecutive years. The exhaust system also requires attention due to the corroded silencer flange noted in May 2025, which often leads to structural failure if left untreated. Given the recent failure for thin brake pads and worn discs, a full braking system overhaul is necessary before the vehicle can be returned to a roadworthy standard.
