2018 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · AY18 LGO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test in February 2026 at 31,075 miles identified an advisory for a worn nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates that rubber components in the chassis are beginning to degrade, following several years of clean MOT results with no recorded defects. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,884 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2024, the car covered only 2,410 miles, suggesting very infrequent use or long periods of stationary. This low usage often correlates with age-related degradation rather than mechanical strain, as seen in the February 2025 test where corrosion was noted on a rear brake hose ferrule. This type of surface corrosion is a common symptom of vehicles that are not driven regularly under varying conditions. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry to assess the extent of the nearside bush wear flagged in early 2026. The buyer must also verify the rear brake hose to ensure the slight corrosion noted in 2025 has not progressed toward structural failure or leaking. Given the low annual mileage, it is equally vital to check for tyre sidew spotting and perished brake seals, which frequently occur when vehicles sit idle for extended periods between uses.
