2016 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · CP16 NTC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 27, 2026, but the mechanical history shows a worsening trend in suspension component wear. While the most recent test was successful, the failure recorded just nine days prior at 35,046 miles revealed multiple defects in the front steering geometry. The tester flagged both front anti-roll bar linkages and track rod ends. This indicates that while the owner is addressing necessary repairs, the degradation of rubber dust covers suggests that components are reaching the end of their functional life due to age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, recording only 35,122 miles. This averages to approximately 3,500 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. This low usage explains the recurring issues with rubber-based components. The records from 2024 and 2025 show advisories for tyre perishing and cracking on the offside rear tyre. When a car sits for long periods or is driven infrequently, the rubber in tyres and suspension boots dries out, leading to structural cracking regardless of how much tread depth remains. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure all track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages were actually replaced following the May 2026 failure. The history of recurring damaged dust covers across 2023 to 2026 suggests that the entire front assembly may be due for attention. Additionally, the tyre sidewalls should be checked for deep-seated dry rot, as the MOT history confirms the vehicle is prone to rubber degradation due to low use. The presence of a child seat previously obstructed the inspection of the seat belt, so the belt mechanism should be manually tested for any internal fraying or securing failure.
