2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · EO61 UAC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of deferred repairs. While it passed the most recent test in February 2026 at 60,051 miles, the tester identified new mechanical defects including offside steering linkage ball joint play and a corroded offside front outer brake pipe. These faults follow a pattern of suspension and braking components being flagged in previous years, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they reach a failure threshold rather than following a preventative schedule. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,051 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, with 4,898 miles driven between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 4,557 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the accelerated degradation of rubber components and increased corrosion of metal surfaces due to infrequent use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring worn arm bushes and now a failing linkage ball joint. The corroded brake pipe noted in the latest test requires immediate verification to ensure it has been replaced to prevent hydraulic failure. Furthermore, the history of thin brake pads in 2025 and a previous structural tyre failure in 2024 indicates that basic consumables have been neglected, necessitating a comprehensive check of all current tyre condition and brake life before purchase.
