2015 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DS65 WCV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred suspension and consumable repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 86,328 miles passed, it carried advisories for a nearside front suspension arm ball joint with slight play and a worn tyre. This mirrors a recurring issue from the June 2024 test at 84,219 miles, indicating that the suspension component has not been replaced despite being flagged in two consecutive years. At 86,328 miles over 11 years, the Juke averages approximately 7,850 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small hatchback. The mileage progression is consistent, with roughly 4,300 miles driven between the April 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 2,100 miles between June 2024 and August 2025. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is not prone to long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and fluid systems. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the nearside front suspension, as the ball joint has been noted for play for over a year. Failure to address this will lead to accelerated tyre wear and potential steering geometry issues. The 2024 advisory regarding a corroded offside front brake pipe also requires a close look to ensure corrosion has not progressed, as the presence of grease or material can mask underlying structural degradation. The record also shows a pattern of poor tyre management, with multiple entries for cuts, cracking, and uneven wear across 2023, 2024, and 2025. The failure in April 2023 due to a weakened front inner brake disc suggests the brakes were serviced when necessary, but the buyer should verify the current state of all discs for pitting or uneven thickness. Consistent signs of ball joint play suggest the previous owner followed a reactive rather than preventative maintenance strategy.
