2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · BG64 LRL

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is technically passing, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening mechanical degradation. While the most recent test on 11 July 2026 at 89,872 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged several recurring issues. Specifically, the offside front coil spring is now noted as corroded, and the nearside front suspension arm ball joint shows play. These issues follow a period of significant mechanical failure in late 2023, suggesting that while major components were addressed, the vehicle is entering a cycle of renewed wear in its suspension and chassis components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,500 miles per year. The records show a steady progression from 27,118 miles in 2017 to the current 89,872 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage, though the intensity of maintenance requirements appears to have increased as the vehicle aged. The jump from 64,961 miles in September 2022 to 72,235 miles in October 2023 represents a period of higher usage, which coincided with a series of heavy failures involving suspension, braking, and lighting components. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension assembly and the underside of the engine. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with oil leaks, which were noted in both July 2025 and July 2026. The recurring corrosion on the offside front coil spring and the previous failures regarding oil cooler piping suggest that fluid leaks and structural oxidation are becoming more prevalent. The tester also noted a non-excessive oil leak in the most recent test, which warrants a close look to ensure it does not escalate. The suspension history is particularly noteworthy. The vehicle has struggled with ball joint wear and coil spring integrity, with multiple failures recorded between October 2023 and July 2026. Furthermore, the history of uneven tyre wear and nail damage indicates that wheel alignment or suspension geometry may be problematic. Before purchase, a thorough check of the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and the condition of the exhaust back box is necessary to ensure that the recent repairs have provided a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
