2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · DX63 PFA

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred mechanical repairs. While the car passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 91,069 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior where several significant mechanical defects were identified. The transition from a clean record in 2025 to multiple failures now suggests that the owner is addressing issues only upon MOT failure rather than following a preventative service schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The car progressed from 78,991 miles in November 2024 to 91,069 miles by April 2026, representing a rapid spike of over 12,000 miles in five months. This increased usage likely explains the accelerated wear observed on consumables and suspension components, specifically the thinning tyres and perished rubber bushes noted in the most recent tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear sub-frame, as the April 2026 test flagged axle corrosion. Although not yet classified as seriously weakened, structural rust is a progressive issue that requires monitoring over time. The record also shows recurring faults with the front suspension, specifically worn lower arm bushes and ball joints, which should be checked for any remaining play to prevent future handling instability. The braking system and tyres also require close attention. The 2025 failure highlighted thin pads and pitted discs, while the 2026 test noted corrosion on the rear brake hose ferrules. Given the nearside front tyre was worn on both edges, which often indicates an alignment issue caused by worn suspension components, these parts likely require immediate replacement to ensure safe vehicle operation.
