2014 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DF64 DJE

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, yet the maintenance trend reveals a consistent pattern of neglect regarding rubber components. The most recent test on March 31 2023 at 53,134 miles passed, but the tester flagged split wiper blades and a perished offside rear tyre. While the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures, the recurring nature of tyre degradation suggests the previous owners only addressed issues when they threatened MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,428 miles per year. Between March 2020 and March 2023, the car covered only 8,668 miles, confirming short-term usage. This low mileage explains the premature perishing of the tyres rather than tread wear. However, the significant gap since the 2023 test means the vehicle has not undergone an official inspection in over three years, leaving the current state of the brakes, suspension, and structural integrity unverified by DVSA-standard testing. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension and alignment, as the record shows repeated outer wear on the front tyres in 2022 and 2023. This typically indicates worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking geometry that has gone uncorrected. Given the low usage and long intervals between tests, you should also check for brake disc corrosion and seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles sit stationary. The tyres are a priority, as the noted noted in 2023 are now well past the end of their functional life and likely require immediate replacement regardless of remaining tread depth.
