2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · BC14 ATO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a reactive maintenance pattern rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in February 2024 at 79,214 miles was a pass, it followed a significant failure just one day prior. That failure identified a fractured coil spring, inoperative parking brake, and poor braking efficiency. The trend suggests that while the vehicle remains operational, the owner appears to only address mechanical faults once they result in an immediate test failure. At 79,214 miles over 12 years, the Juke averages approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a small road car. There is a notable gap in records between the January 2023 test at 65,603 miles and the February 2024 test at 79,214 miles, representing over 14,000 miles driven in thirteen months. This burst of activity likely accelerated the wear on rubber and metal components, evidenced by the multiple failures noted during the 2024 inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear-side braking system and suspension geometry. The 2024 record flagged a corroded nearside rear brake pipe covered in grease, which is a common tactic used to hide structural metal decay from the tester. Furthermore, the nearside front suspension arm bushes were noted as worn, and the history of pitted brake discs and fluctuating front brakes suggests the caliper pistons may be sticking. Given the previous coil spring failure, the entire rear assembly should be checked for signs of stress fractures or further corrosion.
