2012 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · CP12 ABV

The 2012 Nissan Juke shows a history of progressive structural corrosion and deferred mechanical maintenance. While the most recent MOT on 4 October 2024 at 131,823 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just two days prior. That failure revealed critical neglect, including front and rear brake pads below the 1.5mm limit and a nearside front tyre at the legal minimum. Although these consumables were addressed to secure the pass, the vehicle continues to carry multiple advisories regarding suspension wear and subframe decay, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when forced by a test failure rather than performing preventative care. At 131,823 miles over 14 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,400 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. However, the record indicates a worsening trend in corrosion-related issues. Between 2021 and 2024, the tester consistently flagged corrosion on the front subframe, rear axle beam, and suspension mounting brackets. While these were frequently noted as "not seriously weakened," the presence of rust across multiple structural-bearing points suggests the vehicle is exposed to harsh conditions or lacks protection. The recurring mention of corroded brake hose ferrule across five years indicates a high risk of future hydraulic failure if the lines are not replaced. Suspension components are a primary area of concern. The October 2024 test noted play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and wear in both lower suspension arm bushes, mirroring previous failures for excessive wear on ball joints and track rod ends in 2023. The driver's door hinge is also deteriorating, which is a common sign of general wear on this model. A buyer should thoroughly inspect the subframe and mounting brackets for deep structural scaling to ensure the reported corrosion has not progressed beyond surface-level, as the history shows a clear pattern of ongoing oxidation.
