2016 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · ET04 HEO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 76,391 miles passed without defects, it followed a significant failure just eight miles prior. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure. The trend is inconsistent, as multiple critical components including the braking system and suspension reached the point of failure simultaneously despite annual testing intervals. At 76,391 miles over ten years, the Nissan Juke averages approximately 7,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical national averages for a family hatchback. The mileage accumulation shows steady use, with roughly 2,800 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 12,200 miles covered in the final year. This recent spike in usage suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which explains the accelerated wear on consumable components noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking assembly. The January 2025 failure flagged an excessively worn lower suspension arm ball joint and bush, which often causes uneven tyre wear if not replaced correctly. Furthermore, the January 2026 failure revealed pitted front brake discs and pads below the 1.5mm legal limit. While these were likely replaced to pass the test, the buyer should verify the remaining life of the current components and check for any binding calipers or uneven friction. Attention should also be paid to the central rear seat belt webbing, which was noted as frayed in 2025. Although it did not cause a failure, frayed webbing is a safety concern that degrades over time. Given the history of an offside front tyre being worn to the edge in 2026, a thorough check of the alignment is necessary to ensure the suspension repairs have successfully prevented further premature degradation of new tyres.
