2014 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · EY64 ENR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward wear-related component failure. Following a clean test in January 2025, the most recent inspection in January 2026 flagged multiple advisories including thin rear brake pads and worn front suspension arm bushes on both sides. While the car passed, the appearance of these faults indicates that mechanical components are now reaching the end of their functional life, likely due to age-related degradation rather than high mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Data shows a consistent usage pattern, moving from 36,081 miles in early 2023 to 46,851 miles by early 2026. This low-frequency usage pattern suggests less mechanical strain on the engine and gearbox, but it often correlates with the perishation of rubber components like suspension bushes and brake seals, which dry out and crack when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension to assess the extent of the play in the arm bushes noted in the January 2026 record. Worn bushes can lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The rear brake pads require immediate attention as the tester flagged them as wearing thin. Additionally, verify that the central rear seat belt buckle, which failed in 2024, has been properly repaired and functions correctly, as this was a critical safety defect that previously prevented a pass.
