2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · BD63 XCV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of recurring mechanical wear and deferred attention. The most recent test in October 2025 at 85,990 miles passed with an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a pattern of persistent issues, most notably a failure in October 2024 due to a major exhaust leak. While the immediate failures have been addressed, the persistence of minor defects suggests a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. At 85,990 miles over thirteen years, the Nissan Juke averages approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical light domestic use for its age. The data shows consistent use between tests, with roughly 10,500 miles driven between May 2023 and October 2024, and another 7,100 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which explains the degradation of rubber-based components noted in the earlier records. A buyer must scrutinise the front suspension specifically, as records consistently flag worn suspension arm pins and bushes in both 2022 and 2023. The previous mention of oil leaks from the gearbox driveshaft seal and nearside engine area requires a physical inspection to ensure these leaks have not worsened from minor dampness to active dripping. Furthermore, the exhaust system has transitioned from a minor leak in 2023 to a major failure in 2024, indicating the manifold or piping may be thinning or prone to further corrosion. Tyre management also appears inconsistent, with multiple advisories for perishing rubber and uneven wear suggesting that the owner often waits until tyres reach the legal limit before replacing them. The frayed offside front seat belt webbing noted in 2023 should also be verified to ensure it has been replaced. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the underside is essential, as the record does not explicitly detail the structural integrity of the chassis.
