2016 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · DP16 BXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in February 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the recent test at 88,908 miles cleared the car, it failed just one month prior due to excessive play in the offside front track rod end and perishing rubber on both rear tyres. The recurrence of suspension wear and tyre-related defects across the last three years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than during routine service intervals. The recorded mileage of 88,908 miles reflects an average usage of approximately 8,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical consumer patterns for a decade-old vehicle. There is a notable gap in testing between July 2023 and February 2024, where the car covered only 1,277 miles in seven months. However, usage accelerated significantly between February 2024 and February 2026, covering over 10,000 miles in two years. This increase in mileage likely explains the accelerated wear on rubber components and the braking system. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The tester has already flagged issues with both the track rod end and the offside front suspension arm ball joint, indicating a potential for widespread degradation of the steering-related ball joints. These components should be checked for further play or torn boots. Additionally, the history of thin brake pads in 2023 suggests the braking system may require frequent attention. Furthermore, the perishing noted on the rear tyres in 2026 indicates that the rubber compound is reaching the end of its structural life, necessitating immediate replacement regardless of remaining tread depth.
