2017 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · CE17 MPY

Most recent MOT (8 Mar 2026 – 64,865 mi) The car passed the overall test, but the examiner recorded three serious tyre defects. The off‑side front tyre has exposed ply or cords – a clear safety hazard that requires immediate replacement. The near‑side front tyre tread is below the 1.6 mm legal limit on both inner and outer edges, and the rear tyres are worn to the legal limit on both sides. These issues alone would normally cause a failure, so the pass is likely due to remedial work being carried out just before the test. Recurring pattern Across the three years of MOT data the main concerns are: Tyre wear – repeated warnings in 2024 (rear tyre damage), 2025 (off‑side rear tyre cracking) and 2026 (multiple front and rear tyre defects). The wear is accelerating, with the latest test showing front tyre ply exposure and sub‑minimum tread depth. Front suspension ball‑joint wear – in 2024 a slight play was noted on the near‑side front arm; by 2025 both front ball joints were flagged as excessively worn. No comment appears in 2026, which may mean the issue was addressed, but the prior rapid deterioration suggests a potential weak point. Brake pad thickness – in 2025 both front brake pads were below 1.5 mm, a condition that would normally require replacement. No brake‑related comment appears in 2026, again implying work may have been done, but the earlier thin pads indicate the braking system has already seen significant wear.
