2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · BF11 ADZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-01 showed a pass with the main issue being nearside rear brake pads wearing thin (1.1.13 (a) (ii)). However, this follows a failure just two days earlier on 2025-07-29, which listed multiple critical defects : nearside front lower suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn (5.3.4 (a) (i)), offside rear coil spring fractured (5.3.1 (b) (i)), offside front brake pipe corroded (1.1.11 (c)), and the same brake pad issue. These defects indicate recurring suspension and braking system weaknesses , with the coil spring fracture and corrosion risks posing immediate safety concerns. A pattern of suspension component wear is evident across multiple MOTs. The nearside front lower suspension arm pin/bush was flagged as "worn but not excessive" in 2024-08-01 (passed) and again as "excessively worn" in 2025-07-29 (failed). Similar issues with brake pipe corrosion and CV joint boot damage (split or deteriorated) appear repeatedly, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges or environmental exposure. While some issues were addressed between 2024 and 2025, the recurrence of critical defects implies a worsening trend in structural and safety-critical systems. The vehicle’s mileage of 90,259 miles over 15 years equates to ~6,017 miles annually, which is typical for its age . This suggests no extreme overuse , but the frequency of suspension and corrosion-related failures may indicate periods of under-use (e.g., standing in damp conditions) or neglected maintenance . The fractured coil spring and corroded brake pipes, in particular, could reflect long-term exposure to moisture or inadequate servicing .
