2018 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DP67 OKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 68,291 miles passed despite a non-excessive oil leak and a defective offside headlamp lens. While the vehicle has passed its last three tests, the data shows a trend of recurring mechanical and wear issues, suggesting that components are only addressed once they reach failure points or legal-limit thresholds. At 68,291 miles over eight years, the Juke averages approximately 8,500 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns. The mileage progression is consistent, with a 9,200-mile gap between February 2023 and March 2024, and another 4,600 miles between March 2024 and February 2025. This steady usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, though the frequency of tyre failures indicates basic consumable checks are often neglected between service intervals. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system and suspension components. The 2025 test flagged a parking brake that only barely met efficiency requirements, and the 2024 failure highlighted thin pads and pitted, scored front discs. Furthermore, the offside suspension arm bush noted as worn in 2023 requires a physical check to ensure the wear has not progressed into excessive movement. The recurring reports of perishing and low-tread tyres across multiple years suggest the previous owners ignored tyre condition until failure, which often correlates with poor maintenance of other underbody-related components. The oil leak identified in February 2026 warrants a professional inspection to determine if it originates from a simple gasket or a more significant seal. Given the 2024 failure regarding an inoperative engine management indicator light, the buyer should verify that all fault codes were properly cleared and are not returning during operation. While the vehicle appears functional, the history of repeated minor defects necessitates a thorough pre-purchase check for signs of hidden wear or intermittent electrical faults.
