2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · CP62 VFW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding the front suspension. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 92,052 miles, the tester identified a worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush. This follows a pattern of suspension-related advisories dating back several years, indicating that the front-end components are reaching the end of their operational life and have not been proactively replaced. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle of its age, averaging approximately 6,575 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 3,329 miles, while it added another 4,223 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle was not used for long-distance commuting, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber components like suspension bushes and mechanical ball joints seen in the MOT history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the entire front suspension assembly. The recurring failures of the ball joints and suspension arm bushes across four different tests suggest that the previous owner has only addressed individual faults rather than performing a comprehensive overhaul. The buyer should also verify that the ABS fault reported in January 2023 was fully rectified, as no follow-up clearance was explicitly noted in subsequent tests. Given the recent advisory on the offside front bush, checking for tearing or excessive movement in the arm is essential to avoid an imminent mechanical failure.
