2017 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DG66 VGX

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 1 July 2026, with the only remaining advisory being the deterioration of the rear registration plate. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable and improving. While there were recurring advisories regarding tyre condition and brake wear in previous years, the most recent records show a reduction in mechanical defects, suggesting that previous issues have been addressed or the vehicle is now being maintained more proactively. With a recorded mileage of 66,797 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged around 7,422 miles per year. This is considered a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age and class. There is no evidence of excessive wear associated with high-mileage use, nor are there signs of prolonged standing that would typically lead to severe seizure of braking components or significant fluid degradation, although the historical tyre perishing suggests periods of relative inactivity. A critical point for inspection is the history of tyre perishing and cracking recorded between 2020 and 2023. This pattern often indicates that the vehicle may have been stationary for extended periods or subjected to environmental conditions that accelerated rubber degradation. You should carefully inspect the sidewalls of all current tyres for fine cracks and verify the manufacture date codes to ensure they have not exceeded five or six years of age, regardless of the remaining tread depth. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint warrants attention. During the test drive, listen for any knocking or clunking sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or when driving over uneven road surfaces. Regarding the braking system, the 2023 advisory for thin front brake pads should be verified against the service history to confirm replacement. During your inspection, check the brake discs for any significant lip or surface corrosion, and ensure there is no shudder through the pedal under moderate braking. Finally, given the age of the vehicle, it is essential to review the service book for consistent oil and filter changes. Pay particular attention to the condition of the 12V battery and the clarity of the brake and coolant fluids, as these degrade over time regardless of the mileage covered.
