2018 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · CU18 WCV

The 2018 Nissan Juke has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 2025-11-05, with no defects recorded at 45,691 miles. This suggests the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition over the past year, though the single advisory from October 2023—front brake pads wearing thin—was addressed before the next test. The absence of repeated failures or advisories in the last two cycles indicates no worsening trend in critical systems. However, the 2023 note implies that brake wear was monitored but not severe enough to fail the test, which could imply deferred maintenance if the pads were not replaced promptly after the advisory. The mileage progression reveals unusually low annual mileage, averaging just 5,711 miles over eight years. This suggests the vehicle has spent extended periods either lightly used or stationary, which can accelerate certain forms of wear—particularly in suspension components, rubber seals, and battery health—even if the brakes and engine have remained functional. The largest gap between tests is between 2022 and 2023, where mileage jumped from 22,278 to 32,673 in under a year, a rate of over 10,000 miles annually. While this is not excessive, it does indicate a period of more intensive use that could have contributed to accelerated wear on consumables like brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes. Given the advisory on front brake pads in 2023, a buyer should prioritise inspecting the current brake condition, including rear pads and discs, as binding or uneven wear could have developed since. The suspension should be closely examined for worn or leaking bushes, particularly at the front, where corrosion or dry rot in coil springs or dampers is common in lightly driven vehicles. Tyre tread depth and uniformity should also be checked, as the 2023 advisory suggests past neglect in this area. Finally, the battery and electrical connections should be tested, as prolonged inactivity can lead to corrosion or failure in components like the starter motor or alternator. No major structural faults are evident from the MOT record, but a thorough underbody inspection for rust—especially around wheel arches and sills—is advisable given the vehicle’s age.
