2013 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · DY63 VRG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on October 30, 2025 at 101,143 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs where faults are only addressed after a test failure. The failure recorded just one day prior to the last pass identified critical safety defects including a worn offside front steering linkage and nearside front lower suspension arm ball joints, alongside illegally bald front tyres. While the most recent test shows no immediate defects, the recurring nature of suspension component wear suggests the owner ignores mechanical degradation until it reaches a point of failure. At 101,143 miles over 13 years, the Nissan Juke averages approximately 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a small hatchback. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 10,400 miles between November 2024 and October 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent internal corrosion and rubber perish from sitting out. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. The record flags multiple issues with ball joints and track rod ends across several years, indicating a potential for accelerated wear in these components. Check for play in the steering linkage and inspect the condition of the rear brake system, as the pads were noted as thin in late 2024 and have not been explicitly confirmed as replaced in subsequent records. Given the history of failing for tyres below the legal limit, verify the current tread depth and age of all four tyres to ensure they are not nearing the end of their life.
