2020 Nissan Juke N-Connecta DIG-T 1.0L Petrol · EY70 JXW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding suspension components and rubber elements. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 31,550 miles passed, the tester flagged both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm bushes starting to split, alongside perishing on both rear tyres. This follows a 2024 advisory where front tyres were noted as reaching the legal limit, indicating a developing pattern of deferred consumable replacement. The mileage profile is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,250 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 7,641 miles covered between September 2023 and 2024, and another 6,518 miles recorded between 2024 and 2025. This low annual mileage often explains the observed degradation of rubber-based parts, such as the tyres and suspension bushes, as these components perish due to time and environmental exposure rather than distance-related wear. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension to determine if the splitting arm bushes have progressed to a point that affects steering precision or safety. The recurring mention of cracking on the rear tyres suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods, necessitating a thorough check of sidewall integrity beyond simple tread depth. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which are common on vehicles that are not used frequently.
