2015 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · BK65 ABO

The vehicle shows a worsening maintenance trend characterized by increasing frequency of failures and a growing list of mechanical advisories. While the most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 113,073 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged several significant issues including play in the offside front steering rack inner joint and pitted or scored rear brake discs. The transition from a clean record in 2020 to multiple failures in recent years suggests a shift from proactive upkeep to reactive, minimum-standard maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,279 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 21,844 miles in September 2018 to the current 113,073 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing timeline, though the density of failures between November 2024 and December 2025 indicates that mechanical components are reaching the end of their service life simultaneously. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension systems. The record shows a recurring pattern of worn suspension arm ball joints, specifically noted in November 2023 and December 2024, alongside the recent steering rack inner joint issue. These faults suggest the front-end geometry and steering precision may be compromised. The history also highlights frequent tyre wear issues, often occurring on the inner edges, which could indicate persistent wheel alignment problems or incorrect camber settings. Braking components and exhaust integrity also require close scrutiny. The December 2025 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs follows a history of general wear. Furthermore, the major exhaust leak reported in November 2024 at 104,706 miles indicates that the exhaust system has previously suffered significant degradation. While the vehicle passed its most recent test, the cumulative nature of these faults suggests that several mechanical repairs may be imminent to maintain long-term reliability.
