2017 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DT17 RKA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 11 November 2025 at 71,735 miles. The maintenance trend has shifted from stable to worsening in the final two years. While the car passed without defects between 2020 and 2022, the most recent test required immediate rectification of several mechanical failures. The tester flagged a fractured nearside rear coil spring and an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint, indicating a decline in the health of the chassis and suspension components. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,971 miles per year. Growth was steady from 17,996 miles in November 2020 to 71,735 miles by November 2025. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes that would suggest erratic use or commercial exploitation. The car has been used regularly, which typically prevents the perishing of rubber seals and gaskets often seen in low-mileage examples. Brake wear is a recurring issue that suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. In November 2024 at 63,522 miles, the front brake pads were noted as wearing thin. This was ignored until the November 2025 test, where the vehicle failed due to pads measuring less than 1.5mm and scored front discs. This pattern of allowing consumables to reach the point of failure before replacement is a red flag regarding the previous owner's upkeep habits. A buyer should verify the quality of the recent suspension repairs, specifically the new coil spring and ball joint, to ensure they were replaced with quality parts. Given the history of pitted discs and worn pads, a full inspection of the rear braking system is advisable to check for similar neglect. The November 2023 failure for two bald front tyres further reinforces a trend of skipping basic preventative maintenance.
