2015 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · DP64 FFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the recent MOT history indicates a worsening trend in suspension and steering components. While it passed the test on 24 February 2026 at 105,717 miles, this followed a significant failure just one week prior at 105,592 miles. That failure revealed multiple mechanical defects across the front axle and steering system, suggesting that while repairs have been made to meet minimum legal standards, the underlying components are now reaching the end of their functional life. The recorded mileage of 105,717 miles over 11 years reflects an average usage of approximately 9,600 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical UK figures. The data shows a steady pattern of use, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between February 2024 and 2025, and another 21,800 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This recent accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which explains the progressive wear observed on rubber bushes and mechanical joints. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. The record shows a recurring issue with lower suspension arm bushes and track rod ends, which were flagged in the February 2026 failure. Furthermore, the 2025 test noted play in the steering rack inner joints, a potentially high-cost item if the wear continues. The buyer should check for any steering play or knocks when over uneven surfaces that indicate these components are further deteriorating. The braking system also requires close attention. The February 2026 failure cited a lagging nearside rear service brake along with worn, pitted discs and low pads. Although the vehicle passed shortly after, the buyer should verify that the entire nearside rear assembly was serviced and that the discs were replaced rather than merely resurfaced. Given the age and mileage, the rubber components throughout the suspension and drivetrain are likely to require further maintenance investment shortly after purchase.
