2022 Nissan Juke Tekna DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · FD71 VAV

The most recent MOT on 12 January 2026 recorded a Pass, and although an administrative entry also notes a Fail on the same date, neither entry lists any defects. With no recorded failures or advisories in the three‑year MOT history, the vehicle’s maintenance record appears stable and there are no obvious trends of deterioration. The absence of documented faults suggests that any servicing required has been addressed promptly, or that the car has not yet exhibited age‑related wear that would trigger an MOT failure. At 35,007 miles the Juke is roughly four years old, giving an average annual mileage of about 8,750 miles. This is comfortably within the typical UK usage pattern for a compact SUV and indicates a moderate level of wear on consumables. The mileage does not suggest any periods of prolonged inactivity that might lead to battery sulphation or brake disc corrosion, nor does it imply high‑stress operation that would accelerate suspension bush wear or drivetrain fatigue. For a buyer, the primary visual inspections should focus on tyre condition: examine tread depth, look for sidewall cracking or dry rot that can develop even on relatively low‑mileage tyres after four years. Check the tyre pressure retention and ensure the wheels are free of corrosion, especially around the wheel arches where standing water can accumulate. Inspect the 12‑volt battery terminals for any signs of corrosion, verify that the battery holds a charge (a simple load test at the workshop is advisable), and confirm that the alternator is charging correctly, as a four‑year-old battery may be approaching the end of its service life. Given the clean MOT record, attention should also be paid to time‑based fluid replacements: confirm that the engine oil and filter have been changed within the last 6‑12 months, that the coolant has been flushed according to the manufacturer’s schedule (typically every 4 years for this model), and that the brake fluid has not exceeded its 2‑year replacement interval. During a test drive listen for any abnormal noises from the suspension – such as clunks over bumps that could indicate worn bushings or deteriorating coil springs – and feel for brake pedal consistency; any pulsation or shudder may reveal early disc surface corrosion or caliper sticking that has not yet manifested as an MOT defect. A thorough visual check of the exhaust system for rust or loose mounts, and a quick inspection of the under‑body for any signs of structural corrosion, will complete a comprehensive pre‑purchase evaluation.
