2018 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DF67 UWU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive neglect. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 45,290 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged multiple advisories regarding tyres and exhaust. This represents a departure from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the owner is now only addressing components as they approach failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At eight years old, the 2018 Juke has covered a relatively low distance of approximately 5,600 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between December 2022 and January 2024, where only 6,505 miles were recorded over over fourteen months. This low annual usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the perishing and cracking of the rear tyres noted in the 2025 test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a city car that may have sat for extended periods between uses. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyres and braking system. The November 2025 report noted front tyres worn to the legal limit and rear tyres showing structural cracking, which indicates immediate expenditure is required. Furthermore, the thin brake pads flagged in January 2025 suggest the braking system is nearing the end of its service life on the front axle. The minor exhaust leak identified in the latest test should be checked for manifold corrosion or heat shield damage, as small leaks can quickly lead to wider emission failures if left untreated.
