2022 Nissan Juke Tekna DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · DV22 ODE

This 2022 Nissan Juke Tekna DIG-T S-A presents a clean and reassuring mechanical profile based on its available DVSA MOT history. Both recorded tests, conducted on 27 March 2025 and 9 March 2026, resulted in pass outcomes with no advisories or defects noted. With two consecutive clean tests against a vehicle of this age and specification, the recorded roadworthiness trend is stable and free of the chronic issues that often surface on the Juke platform, such as rear suspension coil cracking, front subframe corrosion around the engine bay, or exhaust flex joint deterioration. The absence of any flagged items on either test suggests the braking system, steering components, tyres, lights, and emissions have all been maintained within acceptable tolerances at the time of inspection. The recorded mileage of 18,354 miles against an approximate four-year age equates to an annual accumulation of around 4,588 miles, which is notably below average for a vehicle of this vintage. This lighter usage profile carries specific mechanical implications worth considering. Brake discs and pads, particularly on the rear axle, will have experienced limited bedding cycles and may be susceptible to surface corrosion or light pitting, especially after periods of wet weather or short trips where the brakes do not fully heat up. The coil springs and suspension bushes, including the front anti-roll bar drop links and rear torsion beam bushings, will have seen reduced mechanical cycling but may still present with perished rubber due to age rather than mileage, particularly if the vehicle has been parked outside. The DCT automatic gearbox fitted to the DIG-T variant benefits from regular fluid changes rather than low-mileage use, so service history verification of the transmission fluid renewal schedule is advisable. Tyres, despite low wear from mileage, will still age in terms of compound hardening and should be inspected for production week stamps if they appear to be original fitment. For a prospective buyer conducting a physical evaluation, the test drive should focus on the areas most prone to age-related deterioration rather than mileage-driven wear. Listen for any clonking or knocking from the front suspension over speed bumps and uneven surfaces, paying particular attention to the anti-roll bar linkages and lower ball joints, which can degrade on the Juke even without mileage accumulation. Apply light braking force at low speed to detect any judder or vibration through the steering wheel, which would indicate front disc lipping or corrosion, and apply firmer braking to confirm the pedal feels firm and progressive without sponginess. On the move, evaluate steering response for any pulling to one side, which could indicate uneven brake caliper binding or tracking misalignment, and check for any vibrations through the steering rack on undulating roads. A thorough pre-purchase inspection should also include a careful visual examination of common Juke weak points. Inspect the rear coil springs for any signs of cracking or paint flaking where the spring contacts its seat, and examine the underbody and subframe mounting points for any early signs of surface corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and exhaust mounting area. Check the exhaust system for signs of corrosion at the flex joint and rear silencer mounting, as these are known to deteriorate on this model. Verify that the digital instrument display and infotainment system, including the around-view monitor cameras fitted as standard to Tekna specification, are functioning correctly, and confirm that all scheduled servicing, particularly the DCT transmission fluid and spark plug intervals for the DIG-T engine, has been carried out in line with Nissan recommendations. Given the clean MOT record and modest mileage, this Juke represents a low-risk purchase provided the typical age-related checks are completed and documented service history is confirmed.
