2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · FH63 KXV

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The latest test in July 2025 at 70,240 miles shows a pass only after a failure involving a nearside headlamp, a worn track rod end with excessive play, and damaged front shock absorbers. While these specific faults were addressed recently, the recurring nature of suspension and lighting issues suggests that the previous owner only rectified mechanical defects when they threatened to cause an MOT failure. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,240 miles represents a low average of approximately 5,853 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on drivetrain components, but it often correlates with accelerated corrosion and rubber degradation due to the vehicle sitting stationary. Specifically, between December 2023 and July 2024, the car covered only 1,222 miles, yet the record noted significant corrosion on the brake pipes and coil springs. This pattern of low mileage can lead to pitted brake discs and the seizing of suspension-related hardware. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly, as the history shows corroded coil springs and damaged shock absorber casings appearing in both 2023 and 2025. The failure of the track rod end in 2025 indicates a need to check all steering linkage and bushings for similar play or wear. Furthermore, the documented corrosion on the rear brake pipes in late 2023 is a structural concern; even if they passed since then, the presence of grease on the pipes suggests an attempt to hide rust, requiring a thorough physical inspection to ensure the lines are not thinning.
