2013 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · DG63 ORY

The most recent MOT on 2024-07-24 shows the vehicle failed due to a non-functional Engine MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), which could signal unresolved engine issues. Other failures included the same recurring suspension and tyre-related defects seen in prior tests. A separate passed MOT on the same date listed similar minor issues, suggesting potential inconsistency in testing or repairs. Recurring mechanical patterns include suspension component wear (track rod end ball joint play, front wishbone back bushes) and tyre wear (offside rear tyre near legal limits). These issues appeared in every MOT since 2022, indicating persistent but not necessarily worsening conditions. The 2024 failure introduced a new concern: the Engine MIL inoperative, which may point to a separate, unresolved fault. The trend shows stability in most defects, with no clear escalation in severity. However, the 2024 failure highlights a new risk not previously recorded. The vehicle’s mileage of 124,123 miles over 13 years equates to ~9,548 miles annually, which is typical for its age . This suggests neither extreme under-use nor excessive wear from high mileage, though repeated suspension and tyre issues may reflect ongoing maintenance needs.
