2016 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · BJ66 MHO

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-15 recorded a pass at 88,268 miles, but this followed a failure on 2025-10-14 at the same mileage. The failure cited three suspension-related issues: excessive wear on the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, a damaged offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover, and excessive wear on the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. These defects indicate significant wear in critical suspension components, which could compromise handling and safety. The vehicle’s MOT history shows a clean record prior to 2025, with passes in 2023, 2024, and 2025 (before the failure). The sudden failure at 88,268 miles suggests a worsening trend in suspension integrity. While the mileage (8,827 miles per year) is typical for a 10-year-old vehicle, the concentration of defects in a short timeframe raises concerns about potential neglect or accelerated wear. The identical mileage on both the failed and passed MOTs implies the issues may have been present but unrecorded earlier, or the failure could reflect a specific inspection focus. The vehicle’s mileage aligns with average usage , neither unusually low nor high. This suggests the suspension wear is likely age-related rather than due to heavy use, but the severity of the defects indicates the components may be nearing the end of their service life. Buyers should be cautious about hidden costs associated with replacing worn suspension parts, which can be expensive and labor-intensive.
