2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · FN11 CEK

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 18 May 2026. While the overall history shows a consistent pass rate, there is a concerning trend regarding the braking system. The front brake discs have been flagged as worn, pitted, or scored for two consecutive years, and the pads were noted as wearing thin in 2025. This indicates a lack of preventative maintenance on the braking system, shifting from a clean record in 2023 and 2024 to recurring advisories that have remained unaddressed. With a recorded mileage of 41,543 miles over approximately fifteen years, this vehicle has been used very sparingly, averaging roughly 2,770 miles per year. While low mileage typically suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, such infrequent use often introduces specific risks. Long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, the accumulation of surface corrosion on brake discs, and the chemical breakdown of essential fluids regardless of the distance traveled. The recurring advisories for the front brake discs indicate significant surface corrosion or pitting, which is common in low-mileage vehicles where the discs are not scrubbed clean by regular use. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for a grinding noise or feel a shudder through the brake pedal under moderate deceleration, which would indicate warped or heavily pitted discs. Given that the discs have been flagged for two consecutive years without being replaced, a full replacement of both discs and pads is highly recommended to ensure optimal stopping power and safety. Attention must be paid to the tyres, as the MOT history shows a pattern of perishing and cracking on both the nearside and offside rear tyres over several years. The buyer should inspect the sidewalls of all tyres for fine cracks, which indicate rubber degradation due to age rather than tread wear. Additionally, the low annual usage necessitates a thorough check of the 12V battery health and a verification of the service history to ensure oil and coolant changes have been performed on a calendar basis rather than a mileage basis. Finally, the buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and track rod ends for dryness or cracking, following the previous advisories regarding dust cover deterioration.
