2017 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · DN67 LPZ

The most recent MOT test conducted in November 2025 resulted in a pass, although the vehicle previously failed on headlamp aim issues. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend has transitioned from a period of zero recorded defects between 2020 and 2023 to a more recent emergence of wear-related advisories. This shift is indicative of a vehicle moving into a higher maintenance lifecycle where consumable components and suspension elements begin to require attention, rather than a sign of significant neglect. With 105,309 miles recorded over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 11,700 miles per year. This represents typical, steady usage for a vehicle of this class and age. This level of mileage implies that the drivetrain and chassis have been regularly exercised, which is generally preferable to long periods of inactivity that can lead to seized components or fluid degradation. However, buyers should be prepared for the fact that components such as shock absorbers, suspension bushes, and braking systems are likely nearing the end of their expected operational life. A specific point of interest is the advisory regarding the offside front lower suspension arm bush. It is worth noting that a child seat was present during the last test, which may have limited the inspector's ability to fully examine certain areas. A worn bush can eventually lead to degraded handling, steering instability, and audible clunking noises when traversing uneven road surfaces or during cornering. On your test drive, listen for any knocks from the front end and feel for any wandering in the steering. Additionally, the previous advisories regarding front tyre wear on the edges suggest that the wheel alignment or camber may need adjustment to prevent premature tyre replacement. Beyond the recorded advisories, you should perform a thorough physical inspection of the vehicle's underside for signs of corrosion or fluid leaks. Check the brake discs for excessive scoring or heavy surface corrosion, which can lead to brake shudder or reduced stopping efficiency. Given the age of the vehicle, inspect the tyre sidewalls for any signs of perishing or cracking, even if the tread depth appears sufficient. Finally, ensure that the service book is present and shows evidence of regular oil changes and fluid replacements, as maintaining the integrity of the engine and cooling systems is vital at this mileage threshold.
