2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · DP12 CNO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and rubber components. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 70,299 miles, this followed a failure just one month prior that revealed multiple mechanical defects. The recurring issues indicate that while the owner is now addressing faults, the underlying structural integrity of the suspension-related components is degrading as age-related parts reach the end of their operational life. The recorded mileage of 70,299 miles is significantly low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a notable spike in usage between April 2024 at 56,816 miles and May 2025 at 63,972 miles, where the car covered over 7,000 miles in just twelve months. The low annual mileage often contributes to the degradation of rubber parts and the corrosion of metal components, as these materials age regardless of the distance driven, particularly when mechanical movement. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and rear axle. The record consistently flags corrosion on both front coil springs and wear on the rear axle swivel pins and bushes, which have persisted across multiple test cycles. The failure of the offside front tyre due to perishing and cracking suggests that the tyres may be suffering from age rather than tread wear. Specific attention should also be paid to the anti-roll bar linkages and bushes, which were identified as excessively worn in both 2025 and 2026, indicating they require immediate replacement.
