2014 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DP14 UVU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its test in August 2025 at 82,018 miles, it returned with advisories for an offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and a worn offside front tyre. This follows a significant failure in August 2024 where multiple steering and braking components required immediate attention. The pattern suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between September 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 3,272 miles, while the subsequent year leading to the most recent test covered 5,651 miles. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle is not used extensively, which reduces wear on the drivetrain, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion of brake surfaces if the car sits stationary for long intervals. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and bushings. The record shows recurring issues with ball joints and track rod ends, indicating a potential weakness in the front-end assembly. You should check for any play in the steering linkage and ensure that the repairs following the 2024 rear brake disc failure were executed correctly, as the previous disc showed serious structural thinning. Additionally, the 2025 advisory for the offside front suspension arm ball joint indicates that this component is currently failing and will require replacement shortly to avoid a future failure.
