2014 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DF64 AXB

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2014 Nissan Juke was conducted on 27 October 2025, resulting in a clean pass with no defects, advisories, or failure items recorded. Reviewing the available test history back to February 2022, every annual examination has returned a pass with similarly clean records, indicating a consistent and stable maintenance pattern without any recurring advisories or progressive deterioration flagged by the testing station. The absence of any recorded advisories across five consecutive tests suggests that the previous keeper has either addressed wear items promptly between tests or that the vehicle has not yet reached a mileage threshold where component replacement becomes a frequent MOT outcome. For a prospective buyer, this unbroken pass record is a reassuring indicator, though it should be noted that a clean MOT does not constitute a comprehensive mechanical inspection and underlying wear may still be present. With a recorded mileage of 75,087 miles over approximately twelve years, this Juke has covered an average of around 6,257 miles annually, which sits broadly in line with typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class. There is no evidence in the MOT history of any significant mileage gaps or unusual rapid accumulation between tests, suggesting the vehicle has been in steady, regular use rather than standing for prolonged periods or being subjected to high-mileage driving conditions. This moderate annual mileage is generally favourable from a mechanical longevity perspective, as it implies that consumable wear items such as brake pads, discs, tyres, and clutch components have accumulated wear at a predictable pace, and major drivetrain components have not been subjected to excessive thermal or load cycling. The relatively even mileage progression also reduces the likelihood of seized components or degraded rubber seals often associated with vehicles that have stood idle for extended periods. Given the clean MOT history and absence of any flagged advisories, the buyer inspection should focus on age-and-mileage-related deterioration that may not yet have reached the threshold for MOT failure but could be approaching the end of its service life. The tyres warrant close physical examination for sidewall perishing and cracking, as rubber compounds degrade with calendar age regardless of tread depth, and a twelve-year-old vehicle may exhibit brittleness even on tyres with adequate tread. Look carefully for uneven shoulder wear which could indicate tracking misalignment or worn suspension bushes, and check that all four tyres are of consistent make and age. Equally important is the condition of the brake discs; even with the MOT showing no concerns, surface corrosion can develop on vehicles used for predominantly short journeys, and the discs should be inspected for any lipping around the outer edge or scoring that would indicate pad wear is becoming advanced. A test drive should include several moderate to firm brake applications from higher speeds to check for any shudder, vibration through the pedal, or pulling to one side that might suggest warped discs or a binding caliper. Further buyer checks should include verification of the full service book history to confirm that time-based servicing has been conducted, particularly the replacement of brake fluid (typically every two years regardless of mileage), coolant, and the 12V battery which commonly fails around the five to seven year mark on a vehicle of this age. A sluggish or hesitant engine start, dimming interior lights at idle, or the need to tickle the throttle to keep the engine running would all indicate battery or charging system concerns. On the test drive, listen carefully for any clonks or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps and rough surfaces, as the front suspension components including wishbone bushes, anti-roll bar drop links, and top mounts are known wear items on Jukes of this generation. Also inspect the underside and around the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or weeping joints, and verify that all warning lamps extinguish promptly after engine start. Finally, confirm that the cam belt or chain replacement schedule has been observed according to Nissan service intervals, as neglecting this can result in serious engine damage, and obtain evidence of any recent major servicing before committing to purchase.
