2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · BK13 MTY

The 2013 Nissan Juke presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 27 November 2025 at 62,180 miles with zero defects recorded. That outcome is significant because it follows a failure just hours earlier on 24 November 2023 at 51,864 miles, when both nearside and offside front track rod end ball joints were flagged for excessive play. The fact that no steering or suspension defects have appeared in the three subsequent annual tests, covering over 10,000 miles of driving, indicates the replacement components have held up well and the front end is currently in sound condition. The mileage profile tells a story of very light use. Across thirteen years the vehicle has covered just 62,180 miles, averaging roughly 4,783 miles per year. The annual test records confirm consistent but modest accumulation: 46,139 miles in November 2022, 51,865 miles in November 2023, 57,120 miles in November 2024, and 62,180 miles in November 2025. That is a steady year-on-year increase of approximately 5,000 to 5,300 miles, with no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps suggesting odometer tampering or prolonged storage. The low annual mileage is a double-edged factor. It limits wear on drivetrain and braking components, yet a car driven infrequently can develop issues from sitting idle, such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber bushes, and moisture-related corrosion in the exhaust system. A buyer should still carry out a focused physical inspection despite the clean recent record. The 2023 failure on both track rod ends at under 52,000 miles raises a question about whether other front suspension components, including wishbone bushes, drop links, and anti-roll bar links, may be approaching the end of their service life given the vehicle's age. A thorough check of the underside for corrosion on subframes, brake lines, and mounting points is advisable, particularly if the car has spent its life in a region that salts roads during winter. Brake discs and pads should be measured for thickness and uneven wear, since low-mileage vehicles can suffer from disc judder and pad glazing caused by light, infrequent braking rather than high-speed use. Tyre condition deserves close attention as well. The Juke's low annual mileage means original or early replacement tyres may still be fitted, and rubber degrades with age regardless of remaining tread depth. Any tyres older than six years should be replaced regardless of visual condition. The exhaust system, particularly the flexible joint and catalytic converter, should be inspected for internal deterioration, as short-trip driving accelerates moisture build-up and internal corrosion. Overall, the MOT record is reassuring, but the age of the vehicle means a pre-purchase inspection focused on rubber components, corrosion, and aged consumables remains a prudent step.
