2017 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · DN67 MLE

The most recent MOT in October 2025 resulted in a pass, but only after an initial failure on the same day due to low washer fluid and cracked rear tyres. This indicates the vehicle is currently roadworthy provided those specific faults were rectified immediately, yet it highlights a recurring inability to maintain basic consumables without intervention. A clear and concerning pattern of tyre degradation dominates this vehicle's history. Since 2023, every single test has flagged cracking or perishing rubber on either the front or rear axles. The issue has not been resolved long-term; it merely shifts from the front tyres in 2023 to both rear tyres in 2024 and 2025. This suggests the condition is worsening or that the car is fitted with tyres that are inherently poor quality or unsuitable for its storage environment. The mileage stands at roughly 5,315 miles per year, which is low for a nine-year-old car. While low mileage often implies less mechanical wear on the engine and transmission, in this specific case, it appears to be accelerating the deterioration of the rubber components. Tyres age and crack when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods, and the consistent evidence of dry rot across all four wheels over three years strongly points to under-use rather than hard driving. You should approach this purchase with caution regarding the vehicle's standing history.
