2017 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DP17 XCS

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of minor neglect regarding age-related degradation. The most recent test in July 2025 at 30,165 miles passed despite advisories for perishing on both nearside and offside front tyres. This indicates that despite the low mileage, the rubber components are beginning to fail due to age and UV exposure rather than tread-related wear. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,350 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in usage patterns between October 2023 and August 2024, where the car covered over 10,000 miles in under ten months. Conversely, the interval between October 2021 and October 2022 saw only 862 miles, and the period following 2022 recorded just 611 miles, suggesting the vehicle frequently sat stationary for long periods, which often correlates with the tyre perishing noted in the latest MOT record. A buyer must investigate the source of the oil leaks flagged during the August 2024 test. While the tester deemed the leaks not excessive at 37,860 miles, the presence on both front sides suggests a potential valve cover gasket or seal failure that requires monitoring to prevent future fluid loss. The TPMS warning light noted in 2023 should also be verified, as a faulty sensor or low pressure can go unnoticed if the vehicle is driven infrequently. Physical inspection should focus heavily on the braking system and suspension components, as low-mileage cars often suffer from corrosion on brake discs and seized calipers. Given the cracking reported on the front tyres, a thorough check of the sidewalls for internal cracks is necessary to ensure structural integrity of the rubber. The vehicle shows no history of structural failure, but the intermittent usage pattern suggests a car that has suffered from long-term storage.
