2017 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · DT66 ACX

The 2026‑01‑12 MOT at 104,984 miles resulted in a failure, with handbrake travel excessive and both front anti‑roll bar ball joints excessively worn, indicating the vehicle is presently not roadworthy. The repeated corrosion of suspension components and persistent brake‑pipe degradation across 2025‑2026 tests show a worsening trend rather than stability. Mileage has risen from 60,147 miles in the 2019 test to 104,984 miles in the 2026 test, an average of roughly 11,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2017 model. The incremental increases each year are modest, with the most notable jump occurring between the 2025 and 2026 tests, where mileage rose by over 6,500 miles in six months, suggesting recent intensive use. Recurring faults centre on the suspension system – corroded bushes, fractured coil springs and worn ball joints – alongside chronic brake‑pipe corrosion, fluctuating service brakes and seat‑belt webbing damage. Tyre wear has been noted as close to the legal limit on several occasions, while the handbrake mechanism has repeatedly shown excessive travel. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes and ball joints, verify the integrity of the coil springs, examine the brake pipes for rust and any signs of leakage, test the handbrake for proper travel, assess tyre tread and edge wear, and check the seat‑belt webbing for fraying. Any indication of ongoing engine warning lights or structural rust beyond the recorded advisories should also be confirmed on site.
