2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · DP14 LPJ

The most recent MOT from September 2025 shows a pass, but it follows a failure involving several significant suspension and tyre issues. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the recent history reveals a recurring pattern of wear in the front suspension components and tyre management. The mechanical trend appears to be worsening. You can see a progression of suspension faults, starting with slight play in an offside front ball joint in 2023, moving to an excessive wear failure in 2024, and culminating in failures for both a track rod end and a nearside front suspension arm ball joint in 2025. This suggests that the steering and suspension components are reaching the end of their service life and may require more frequent attention. The mileage of approximately 77,785 miles over 12 years averages out to roughly 6,500 miles per year. This is typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it hasn't been excessively driven, but it also means the car hasn't been "low mileage" enough to avoid the natural degradation of rubber components like bushings, ball joints, and tyres. The presence of an exhaust leak in 2024 and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system in 2025 indicates that various secondary systems are also starting to fail. While these are not necessarily deal-breakers, they point to a vehicle that is beginning to require more maintenance to keep it compliant. Before buying, you should personally inspect the condition of the tyres to ensure they aren't unevenly worn, check the suspension for any knocking sounds when driving over bumps, and verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system is fully operational.
