2020 Nissan Juke Tekna DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · CF64 FOX

Tyre condition is the recurring theme throughout this Juke's MOT history, with multiple advisories logged across consecutive tests for cuts and nails that did not quite reach the legal failure threshold but cumulatively suggest a vehicle exposed to debris-strewn urban roads or kerbing damage. The most recent test on 24 August 2026 was a clean pass with only a single advisory for a nail in the nearside rear tyre, continuing the trend rather than breaking from it. Of more mechanical interest is the failure recorded earlier in 2025, where the offside front wiper was deemed ineffective at clearing the windscreen, an issue that can stem from perished rubber inserts, a fatigued linkage, or a tired motor rather than simply a worn blade. Importantly, there is no record of corrosion on suspension arms, subframe mounting points, brake pipes, or exhaust mounting hardware across any of the tests, and the intervening passes in 2023 and 2024 were entirely defect-free, indicating that the underlying structural and chassis components remain sound. With 35,551 miles recorded against a six-year vehicle age, this Juke has averaged roughly 5,925 miles per annum, which sits well below the typical annual mileage for a small petrol crossover of its era. The mileage progression between tests is consistent rather than erratic, suggesting steady, gentle use rather than a mix of long lay-ups followed by intensive driving. From a mechanical standpoint, low annual mileage of this nature typically preserves interior trim, brake components, and clutch material, but it can also bring its own concerns if the vehicle has stood unused for extended periods. However, the continuity of annual MOT testing without any recorded gaps for SORN periods or missed tests suggests it has remained in regular use, which is positive for the health of the catalytic converter, the CVT automatic transmission fluid, and the 12V battery, all of which can deteriorate during prolonged inactivity. For a prospective buyer, the priority on inspection should be the tyres, given the consistent pattern of cuts and nail penetrations. All four tyres should be scrutinised for sidewall damage, embedded debris, and tread depth across the full width rather than just the central tread band, since cuts that have not yet reached the ply can deteriorate rapidly under load. The nearside front and offside rear positions appear to be the most frequently impacted, which may indicate kerbing damage from tight parking or repeated contact with roadside debris, so the wheel rims should also be checked for scuffs and buckles. Given that the most recent test recorded only one tyre advisory while the previous year's test flagged three tyres, it is plausible that a replacement set was fitted, and buyers should verify the date codes and brand of the current tyres to confirm uniform age across the axles. The wiper failure recorded in August 2025 is worth probing on a test drive. With the ignition on and the wipers operating, listen for any binding in the offside front linkage, observe whether the blade sweeps the full intended arc without smearing, and check for streaking or unwiped zones that would suggest the motor is fatiguing. Beyond the flagged items, the DIG-T engine and DCT or automatic transmission should be assessed on a warm start, with attention to any hesitation, judder, or rough idle that could indicate coil pack wear or injector fouling. Underfoot, the brake pedal should feel firm and progressive without any sponginess or excessive travel, and during a low-speed manoeuvre the vehicle should track straight without any pulling from the nearside or offside, confirming that the suspension geometry and steering geometry are intact despite the urban-driven nature of its recorded use.
