2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · DP10 DMP

The most recent MOT test on 17 July 2026 shows a pass, but the maintenance trend indicates recurring minor issues rather than a clear pattern of resolution. While the vehicle passed the latest inspection, the tester flagged a defective offside front direction indicator lens and damaged offside front seat belt webbing. These findings follow a failed test in July 2025, where the vehicle failed on dangerous tyre tread depth and suspension wear. The vehicle has covered 177,993 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging approximately 12,714 miles per year. This represents relatively high usage for a vehicle of this age, which correlates with the mechanical wear noted in the records. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing, with the most recent entries occurring within the last year, providing a recent snapshot of the vehicle's condition. The inspection history reveals a persistent trend regarding steering and suspension components. In July 2024, the tester identified play in both steering rack inner joints and the offside track rod end ball joint. By July 2025, the advisories shifted to worn suspension arm pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside front. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering rack, track rod ends, and all front suspension bushes to check for excessive movement or play. The July 2025 failure for tyre tread depth below 1.6mm suggests that consumable maintenance was neglected at that time. Although the 2026 test did not flag tyre issues, the presence of seat belt webbing damage and defective indicator lenses suggests that minor electrical and interior trim components require attention. Focus should remain on the front-end mechanical assembly due to the repeated advisories regarding steering and suspension geometry.
