2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · CV13 KHF

This 2013 Nissan Juke presents a stable but aging mechanical picture, with the most recent MOT pass recorded on 15 September 2025 at 104,313 miles. That test was over nine months ago as of today, so a fresh inspection is overdue. The overall trend is one of gradual wear accumulation rather than sudden deterioration. Recurring advisories on suspension and braking components have persisted across multiple tests without catastrophic failure, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in running order but not necessarily proactively repaired. The rear subframe mounting corrosion flagged in 2025 and the worn rear brake discs indicate structural fatigue is now entering a more serious phase. The mileage progression is broadly consistent with light-to-moderate use. Between April 2022 at 90,464 miles and April 2024 at 100,688 miles, the car covered roughly 10,224 miles over two years, then added just 3,625 miles in the following seventeen months leading to September 2025. This tapering suggests the vehicle may have been used less frequently in its most recent period, or possibly stood for extended spells. A standing vehicle can develop its own problems, including brake surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, and dried-out rubber bushes, none of which are fully captured by the MOT record alone. Buyers should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, where ball joint play has appeared on every test since 2022 without documented replacement. Both nearside and offside joints were flagged in 2024, and the nearside joint remained advisory in 2025. Persistent play here points to worn track rod ends and suspension arm bushes that are likely due for renewal. The steering rack inner joint play noted on the offside in 2024 also warrants attention, as this can develop into vagueness at speed and uneven tyre wear. The rear subframe mounting corrosion advisory from September 2025 is the most structurally significant finding on record. While the tester deemed it not excessive at that point, corrosion in prescribed areas can accelerate rapidly, particularly on a thirteen-year-old vehicle that may have seen road salt exposure. Have the subframe, rear suspension mounting points, and floor pan thoroughly inspected with a torch and probe. The rear brake discs were also flagged as worn and pitted in 2025, and front brake discs have shown lipping since at least 2023, indicating the braking system is operating at the margins of serviceability. Budget for a full brake overhaul and suspension refresh if the ball joints and track rod end boots show any sign of perishing or contamination.
