2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · CP10 ACE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 77,146 miles passed, it revealed a non-excessive oil leak and perished rear-side tyres. This follows a failure in July 2024 due to a worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and a faulty windscreen wiper. The presence of these issues suggests that components are only addressed once they reach an MOT failure threshold. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,146 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,143 miles. This low-use pattern often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear. The history confirms this, with advisories for perished tyres appearing in 2022 at 68,785 miles and again in 2025 at 77,146 miles. The vehicle likely sits for extended periods, which accelerates tyre rot and oxidation despite the low mileage. A buyer should physically inspect the engine bay to monitor the oil leak noted in the 2025 test, ensuring it is not originating from a critical gasket or front seal. Given the previous failure of the ball joint in 2024, a thorough check of the entire suspension geometry and bushings is necessary to identify any further play. Additionally, the 2024 failure regarding obstructed undertrays preventing a full inspection necessitates a manual check of the chassis to ensure no hidden structural corrosion has developed beneath the plastic covers.
