2020 Nissan Juke N-Connecta DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · CE70 GGV

A broadly clean roadworthiness profile defines this Nissan's recent MOT history, with three consecutive passes and only a single advisory across the last three tests. The most recent examination on 26 August 2026 recorded no defects whatsoever, continuing a stable trajectory that includes a clean pass in 2024 and an isolated advisory for tyre perishing in 2025. The 2023 test did flag both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and exhibiting edge wear, which marks the only cluster of repeated component attention in the record. Taken together, the absence of failures, structural corrosion advisories, brake or suspension defects, or lighting and exhaust concerns paints a picture of a vehicle that has consistently met the minimum statutory standards without escalating mechanical issues. Recorded mileage of 29,697 miles across six model years equates to roughly 4,950 miles annually, which is well below the typical UK average for a vehicle of this age. The recorded readings progress steadily from the 2023 test through to the most recent examination, with no erratic jumps between annual tests. This kind of low accumulation rate generally means slower wear on consumable items such as brake pads and discs, clutches, and drivetrain components, and the 2020 DIG-T automatic has covered only modest ground in operational terms. Buyers should still be mindful that low-mileage automatics can present their own considerations, particularly around fluid degradation and infrequent-use component stiffness, though nothing in the MOT history itself flags such items. The advisory pattern here is tyre-focused and worth specific attention during a physical inspection. Both front tyres were flagged in 2023 for being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, a pattern that typically indicates either an alignment issue, uneven camber, or simply inner or outer shoulder wear from cornering. The 2025 advisory for slight damage, cracking, or perishing on the nearside rear tyre points to age-related rubber deterioration rather than tread wear. On a test drive, the buyer should listen for any humming or drone that intensifies with speed, which can suggest uneven wear pattern noise, and feel for steering pull to either side under steady throttle, which would hint that the alignment issue noted in 2023 has not been corrected. Inspect all four tyres physically for shoulder feathering, cracking in the sidewall grooves, and uneven inner-versus-outer tread depth, and confirm the manufacturing date codes if replacement tyres have been fitted since the advisories. Beyond the recorded advisories, the buyer should carry out a targeted road test focused on the areas not specifically flagged but common to this platform. Listen for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, which would indicate worn suspension linkages or anti-roll bar bushes. Check for vibration through the steering wheel under braking, a sign of front brake disc warping that can develop on lower-mileage vehicles that have experienced infrequent heavy braking. With the engine running from cold, observe the exhaust for any excessive smoke and listen for any timing chain rattle on initial start-up, as the DIG-T unit is known for such characteristics with age. Finally, given the DCT automatic gearbox, ensure that changes between first and second gear, and between second and third, are smooth and free of shudder, as these gearboxes can develop hesitation at low speeds if the transmission fluid has not been refreshed at appropriate intervals.
