2010 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · FG60 ECT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 121,859 miles passed with a minor advisory for an oil leak, which represents a significant improvement compared to the 2024 failures. While the current trend appears stable in the short term, the history of multiple suspension and brake failures suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of inspection failure. At 121,859 miles over 16 years, the Nissan Juke has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-urban usage patterns. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,150 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is not sat for long periods, which helps keep rubber components and seals lubric. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front suspension geometry, as the record shows recurring issues with track rod ends, suspension arm ball joints, and bushes. The 2022 failure noted excessive play in these areas, and the 2024 advisory indicates the play had returned to a marginal state, likely nearing failure again. The buyer should also verify the condition of the brake pipes; the 2022 test flagged corroded pipes hidden under grease, a common tactic used to mask structural decay. The structural integrity of the chassis warrants close scrutiny. The thick underseal noted in 2023 and 2024 suggests an attempt to manage surface rust, but such coatings can also hide existing corrosion in structural members. Given the previous history of worn tyres and under-maintained components, the buyer should check for uneven tyre wear and ensure the oil leak identified in October 2025 is not indicative of a failing engine seal or gasket cover.
