2014 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · BU64 XWN

The vehicle presented is a 2014 Nissan Juke which most recently underwent an MOT examination on 28 September 2026, achieving a pass certificate with no defects or advisories recorded against it. This clean outcome follows two similarly unblemished pass results in August 2025 and September 2024, suggesting that the vehicle is presently in a stable mechanical condition from a statutory roadworthiness perspective. Prior to this run of clean tests, the September 2023 examination drew advisories relating to wear in the front suspension arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside, followed by September 2022 advisories concerning slight damage, cracking, or perishing of both front tyres. While none of these items resulted in test failure and there is no recurrence flagged in the two most recent examinations, the historical presence of these advisories warrants consideration as the vehicle continues to age. With a recorded mileage of 44,652 against an age of approximately twelve years, the annual usage averages around 3,721 miles, which is considerably below the typical mileage for a vehicle of this vintage. Such low annual mileage can be indicative of predominantly short journeys, secondary vehicle use, or extended periods of standing idle. Mechanically, low-mileage vehicles often accumulate wear unevenly, with corrosion, dry rot of rubber components, and fluid degradation presenting greater concerns than wear on internal engine or drivetrain parts. Conversely, higher annual mileage would more typically accelerate wear on friction items such as brake discs, pads, clutches, and suspension components, none of which appear to be a dominant factor here. Given the historical advisories concerning the front suspension arm pins and bushes, a prospective purchaser should conduct a careful physical inspection of the front suspension assembly, paying particular attention to the condition of any visible rubber bushes for signs of cracking, deformation, or splitting. On a test drive, particular attention should be given to any clonks, knocks, or excessive vibration transmitted through the front wheels when traversing speed humps, potholes, or uneven road surfaces, as well as any vagueness or wandering from the steering wheel. Uneven or inner-edge tyre wear on the front pair would also be symptomatic of deteriorated suspension bushes or worn ball joints. The earlier advisories relating to the front tyres, while not repeated, are consistent with the general age-related perishing risk, and a thorough inspection of all four tyres should be undertaken for sidewall cracking, tread depth, and manufacturing date, as tyres over six years of age may require replacement regardless of remaining tread. Beyond the documented items, the age and low-mileage profile of this Nissan Juke necessitates several calendar-based checks that would not necessarily be captured during an MOT test. The 12-volt battery is highly likely to require testing or replacement, as units of this age frequently exhibit diminished cranking performance, particularly during colder weather. Brake calipers may suffer from corrosion or seizing due to periods of inactivity, which can manifest as uneven braking, pulling to one side, or excessive brake dust on the wheels. Fluid servicing intervals should be confirmed, with brake fluid, engine coolant, and transmission fluid all subject to time-based degradation rather than purely mileage-based replacement. The condition of all undertrays, exhaust mounting rubbers, and the rear suspension should also be assessed for corrosion or perishing, while a service history review will confirm whether the timing chain, if applicable, spark plugs, and cabin filter have been renewed in line with manufacturer schedules.
