2017 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · EY67 DCV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 23 July 2026 at 70,947 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test followed a failure just one day prior on 22 July 2026, where the tester flagged excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joints alongside front tyres worn close to the legal limit. This suggests that while the vehicle is currently roadworthy, repairs are often carried out only when necessitated by an inspection failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,883 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 26,713 miles in August 2020 to the current 70,947 miles. There are no significant gaps in mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-use vehicles. A buyer should pay close attention to the lubrication and sealing of the engine. The MOT history shows a persistent oil leak, first noted in July 2023 at 48,376 miles and appearing again in July 2024 at 55,614 miles. Although described as not excessive, its recurrence indicates a long-term seepage that requires physical inspection to determine the source, whether it be a gasket or a seal. The recent failure of the suspension ball joint also implies that other steering and suspension components, such as bushes or tie rod ends, may be nearing the end of their service life. Tyre management appears to be a recurring issue for previous owners. The vehicle has failed multiple times due to structural tyre defects, including a bulge on the offside front in July 2023 and worn edges on both front tyres in July 2026. This pattern suggests a potential lack of regular tyre pressure monitoring or alignment checks. Any prospective buyer should verify the current tread depth and sidewall integrity across all four tyres and check for any uneven wear that might indicate underlying suspension geometry issues.
