2018 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DP67 OHN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward reactive neglect. While the most recent test on 31 January 2026 at 42,376 miles passed, it followed a failure just one day prior that revealed multiple safety-critical defects. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to recurring failures in 2026 indicates that the owner is only addressing mechanical issues when forced by the MOT tester rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between January 2023 and January 2024, where the car covered only 4,546 miles. However, the usage increased between 2024 and early 2026, with nearly 9,200 miles covered in two years. This low overall annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware, which aligns with the specific issues seen in the recent history. A buyer must focus on on the nearside front suspension arm bush, as this component was flagged as worn in 2024 and progressed to excessive wear by the 2026 failure. The tester also identified a cut reaching the cords on the nearside front tyre, which suggests a lack of basic pre-trip inspections for damage. Given that the front brake pads were noted as thin in both the failure and the subsequent pass in January 2026, the braking system components likely require immediate attention despite the vehicle's low mileage.
