2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · CK62 BYF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the history reveals a trend of deferred maintenance on critical safety components. While it passed its latest test in August 2025 at 64,965 miles, it failed just one mile prior due to multiple mechanical and lighting defects. The record shows a recurring failure to address suspension issues in a timely manner, particularly regarding the front ball joints and steering rack. This suggests that the owner only performs necessary repairs when forced by MOT failures rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,640 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between September 2022 at 48,774 miles and March 2024 at 56,377 miles, followed by a steady climb into 2025. This low annual usage explains the recurring issues with tyre cracking and perishing, as noted across multiple test years, as rubber components degrade due to age and lack of movement rather than simple tread wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the nearside front ball joint and steering rack inner joints have been flagged for excessive wear and play across several consecutive tests. The buyer should also verify the condition of the tyres, as the history shows a pattern of ignoring sidewall damage and reaching legal tread limits. Given the previous failure for thin rear brake pads in 2024, a physical check of the remaining friction material and disc condition is essential to ensure the components were not replaced with low-quality parts.
