2020 Nissan Juke Tekna DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · CC04 LJC

The most recent MOT, carried out on 24 February 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle presently meets the statutory safety and emissions requirements. Over the preceding five‑year period the MOT record shows a single major failure in November 2023 for a near‑side front tyre cut, which was subsequently rectified as later tests in the same year and thereafter returned clean. Apart from a minor advisory on a wiper blade in January 2025, the history has been free of defects, suggesting an overall improvement in condition after the tyre issue was addressed and a stable maintenance pattern since then. With a recorded 10,635 miles on the odometer for a vehicle first registered in 2020, the average annual mileage works out at roughly 1,770 miles per year, considerably below the UK average for a comparable model. Such low utilisation typically points to light, possibly intermittent use rather than high‑stress driving, which reduces wear on drivetrain components, brakes and suspension. However, the low mileage also raises the possibility that the car has spent extended periods stationary, a factor that can accelerate age‑related degradation of rubber parts, battery capacity and corrosion of metal components, especially if the vehicle has been stored outdoors or in a damp environment. Prospective buyers should give particular attention to the condition of the front tyres, confirming that the near‑side tyre with the previous cut has been replaced with a tyre of correct specification and adequate tread depth, and that the opposite tyres show even wear and no sidewall cracking. During a test drive listen for any thumping, vibration or pull to one side that could indicate tyre imbalance or hidden damage. Inspect the wiper blades and washer system for proper operation, as the 2025 advisory suggests they may not have been replaced promptly. Verify that the brake discs are free of excessive surface rust, that the pads are not excessively worn, and that the calipers do not exhibit binding or uneven pedal feel, which can develop when a vehicle sits for long periods. Given the vehicle’s age of six years, a thorough visual check of the battery terminals for corrosion and a load test of the 12 V battery are advisable, as electrolyte depletion can occur even with low mileage. Examine the suspension bushings, ball joints and shock absorbers for any cracking, splintering or play, since rubber components can harden with age regardless of use. Confirm that the service book records regular oil, coolant and brake‑fluid changes at the manufacturer’s intervals, and consider a fresh change of these fluids if the last documented service predates the current year. Finally, inspect the under‑carriage for rust, especially around the exhaust, chassis rails and wheel arches, and ensure that all lighting, emissions control valves and the exhaust system are intact and free of leaks before committing to purchase.
