2016 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · DF16 AAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred suspension and consumable repairs. The most recent test in September 2025 at 45,308 miles resulted in a failure for an offside front track rod end with excessive play and a worn front tyre. While the vehicle passed upon immediate retest, the recurring nature of steering and suspension defects suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical components when they reach the point of an MOT failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2019 at 15,168 miles and September 2020 at 23,802 miles, where the car covered nearly 8,000 miles in sixteen months. This low-frequency use explains the condition of the brake components, such as the pitted rear discs and thin pads, which often degrade due to corrosion and lack of use rather than high mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows repeated issues with suspension arm bushes, pins, and track rod ends between 2022 and 2025. The consistent flagging of uneven tyre wear across the front axle indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension components that have not been fully rectified. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for structural corrosion, which was noted in the 2020 test, to ensure integrity has not progressed beyond the initial advisory.
