2015 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · DY15 WFP

The 2015 Nissan Juke presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 28 November 2024 at 106,431 miles with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet is significant because it follows a clear pattern of active remediation. The previous test on 12 December 2023 at 95,392 miles resulted in a failure for an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint, alongside advisories for worn rear brake discs and thin rear brake pads. The same vehicle passed later that same day at 95,399 miles after the critical ball joint was addressed, though the rear brake wear advisories remained. This sequence demonstrates that the previous owner responded promptly to safety-critical failures and maintained the vehicle's braking system, which had been flagged for disc wear and pad degradation. The absence of any defects in the most recent 2024 test indicates that the suspension and braking systems are currently in good order, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage accumulation of roughly 9,676 miles per year is entirely typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle, suggesting consistent daily use rather than prolonged standing or extreme high-mileage abuse. The record shows a notable jump of approximately 20,000 miles between the November 2022 test at 75,287 miles and the December 2023 test at 95,392 miles, indicating a period of heavier use. However, the mileage then plateaued sharply, with only 10,032 miles added over the following year up to the November 2024 test. This recent slowdown could reflect a change in ownership, reduced commuting, or the vehicle being used more sparingly. The MOT history itself is reasonably complete, with annual tests recorded from 2021 onward, though the gap between October 2021 and November 2022 is slightly longer than twelve months, which may suggest a brief period of non-use or a delayed test. A buyer should still conduct a focused physical inspection despite the clean 2024 result. The repeated advisories for rear brake disc wear and thin rear pad material across both the failed and passed December 2023 tests suggest the rear braking system has been a persistent area of attention. Inspect the rear calipers for signs of binding, which can accelerate disc and pad wear unevenly. The nearside front suspension arm ball joint failure in December 2023, while rectified, warrants a close check of the front suspension bushes and ball joints for any play or deterioration, as these components are subject to ongoing stress. Given the vehicle's age and the advisory for perishing rear tyres noted in November 2022, examine all tyre sidewalls for cracking and confirm the date codes, particularly if the rear tyres are original or have not been replaced recently. Finally, inspect the underside for corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake line fittings, as these structural areas are not always fully visible during an MOT but are critical to long-term integrity.
