2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · BF64 JRZ

The 2014 Nissan Juke’s most recent MOT test on 18 March 2026—just four months ago—confirms it passed without defects, though it failed the previous attempt on 14 March 2026 at the same mileage. This abrupt retest suggests either a last-minute correction of a minor oversight or a deliberate attempt to bypass a recurring issue that wasn’t logged in the system. The pattern of passing tests at roughly annual intervals (March 2024, March 2025, and now March 2026) indicates no worsening trend in major failures, but the lack of recorded defects across five tests raises suspicion. Buyers should treat this as a red flag—either the vehicle has been meticulously maintained with no mechanical issues, or critical faults have been consistently overlooked or repaired privately without official record. The recorded mileage of 83,929 miles over 12 years aligns with typical usage for this age, averaging around 7,000 miles annually. There are no obvious gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, as the intervals between failures and passes remain consistent, suggesting steady ownership without prolonged periods of neglect. However, the identical mileage at both the failed and passed tests in March 2026 implies the vehicle was not driven between those dates, which could indicate either a temporary storage period or an attempt to reset the test cycle without addressing underlying concerns. Given the absence of recorded defects, the most prudent areas for a buyer to inspect in person are the suspension components—particularly the rear subframe mounts, coil springs, and bushings—given the Juke’s history of wear in these areas. The brakes, though not flagged in the MOT, should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is another critical check, as this model is prone to rust progression over time. Finally, verify that all advisory items from past tests (if any were privately addressed) have been resolved, as their absence from the MOT record suggests they may have been ignored.
