2017 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DN67 NPU

This Nissan Juke has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 5 December 2025 at 49,446 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The pattern of passing tests without failings suggests consistent compliance with basic roadworthiness standards, though the single failure in November 2024—just 116 miles before its subsequent pass—appears anomalous and lacks explanatory context. The absence of recurring advisories or defects implies that major components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or corrosion-related issues have not been systematically overlooked. However, the lack of any recorded advisories also means there is no historical evidence of proactive maintenance beyond the minimum MOT requirements. The recorded mileage of 49,446 miles over nine years—approximately 5,494 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the Juke’s typical usage patterns. The gap between the 2022 test at 24,693 miles and the 2023 test at 37,014 miles represents a significant jump of 12,321 miles in just under a year, which could indicate either a period of heavy use or an extended period of non-operation. The subsequent mileage accumulation has been more gradual, averaging around 3,000 miles per year since 2023, which may reflect lighter usage or seasonal storage. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been subjected to prolonged idling or storage conditions that could accelerate corrosion or fluid degradation. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear subframe mounts and track arms, as these are common failure points in Juke models of this age. The absence of advisories does not preclude wear in suspension bushes or ball joints, which often degrade gradually without immediate MOT failings. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation in the past. Corrosion checks are essential, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as prolonged low-mileage periods can exacerbate rust if the vehicle was stored in damp conditions. Fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should also be verified, as stagnation can lead to contamination or degradation over time. The engine bay and exhaust system warrant attention for leaks or signs of oil or coolant ingress, which might not have been detected in a cursory MOT but could indicate broader neglect.
