2020 Nissan Juke Tekna + DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · BP20 KBU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on January 7, 2026, at 28,308 miles passed without defects, confirming current roadworthiness. However, the history reveals an unstable pattern around engine diagnostics, with a single but critical failure in January 2025 for an inoperative or malfunctioning MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) at 23,977 miles. This was rectified before the subsequent test the following day, suggesting a prompt but isolated issue rather than a recurring trend. No other advisories or repeated faults appear in the record, indicating the tester did not identify persistent wear in brakes, suspension, or structural components during these checks. The recorded mileage of 28,308 miles over six years—approximately 4,718 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the model’s typical usage patterns. The gaps between tests are consistent at around 12 months, but the jump from 16,095 miles in March 2023 to 19,883 miles by January 2024 suggests a period of minimal driving, which could imply long-term storage or infrequent use. This low mileage may reduce wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes or drivetrain seals, but it also raises questions about whether fluids (coolant, brake fluid, gearbox oil) were regularly refreshed during these inactive periods. Given the history, a buyer should prioritise an immediate inspection of the engine management system, particularly the MIL and associated fault codes, to confirm the 2025 issue was fully resolved. The front under tray fitted in January 2024 hints at rust or corrosion concerns in that area, so thorough examination of the subframe, wheel arches, and suspension mounts for pitting or structural weakness is essential. While no brake or suspension faults appear in the MOT record, the low mileage makes it difficult to assess long-term wear—binding calipers, uneven tyre wear, or soft coil springs could still be present despite passing tests. Finally, verify the service history for fluid changes and timing belt condition, as these are often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles but critical for longevity.
