2013 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · DN63 VHC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in December 2025 at 102,966 miles with no defects recorded. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of instability between 2022 and 2024 where multiple mechanical and safety failures required attention. While the most recent test suggests the vehicle is currently in good order, the history indicates a pattern of reactive maintenance where faults are addressed only upon failure rather than proactively. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,900 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between December 2023 (78,207 miles) and December 2024 (91,106 miles), where the car covered over 13,000 miles in a single year. This surge in driving coincides with the highest frequency of recorded faults, specifically regarding tyres, the exhaust system, and suspension components, which were subjected to increased wear and tear during this interval. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking and suspension systems. The record highlights issues in late 2024 with the offside front anti-roll bar linkage and significant corrosion on the nearside front brake pipe. Although these were cleared for the subsequent test, corrosion on brake lines is a recurring concern that can lead to leaks if not monitored. Additionally, the history of fluctuating front brakes in 2023 suggests the potential for warped discs or sticking calipers over time. Tyre maintenance also warrants scrutiny, as the record shows multiple instances of tyres reaching the legal limit or showing structural damage like exposed cords between 2020, 2022, and 2023. This suggests previous owners often neglected basic consumables until they failed. The buyer should verify the current tread depth and age of all four tyres to ensure no new perishing or uneven wear has developed since the last inspection.
