2017 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · CU17 OUO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and structural components. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 49,260 miles, the tester identified new defects that were not present in previous years. The appearance of nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint play and a worn offside front suspension bush indicates that the front suspension geometry is beginning to degrade rapidly despite the vehicle's relatively low mileage. At 49,260 miles over nine years, this Nissan Juke reflects a low average of approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows a significant jump in usage between March 2023 at 24,014 miles and March 2024 at 31,425 miles, where over 7,000 miles were covered in twelve months. This low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear on the engine, but it can lead to rubber component perish and accelerated corrosion, which is evidenced by the recurring issues noted in the MOT records. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension assembly. The record consistently flags surface corrosion on the front Macpherson struts and the rear beam axle dating back to 2024. While these were described as not seriously weakened, the persistence of this rust suggests a need to monitor for structural integrity. The recent failure of the nearside ball joint and worn bushes in the 2026 test indicates that the front suspension components will likely require replacement soon to prevent further degradation and ensure vehicle handling stability.
