2015 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · FN15 CBY

The vehicle presents a clean and consistent MOT record, with the most recent test on 4 April 2026 resulting in a pass and no defects or advisories recorded. The previous three tests, conducted in 2025, 2024, and 2023, also returned clean passes, indicating a stable maintenance trend with no deterioration in roadworthiness over the recent testing cycle. The single failure recorded on 5 April 2023 was immediately followed by a pass on 6 April 2023, suggesting a minor issue was rectified promptly rather than any persistent mechanical fault. The absence of recurring advisories across five consecutive tests is a positive indicator that core safety-related components, including brakes, tyres, suspension, and lighting systems, have been maintained within legal limits throughout this period. With a recorded mileage of 67,849 miles over an eleven-year service life, this Nissan Juke has covered approximately 6,168 miles annually, which is broadly typical for a vehicle of its age and likely reflects a mixture of urban and moderate-distance use. There is no evidence in the MOT history of unusually low mileage or extended periods of standing, nor are there any indications of rapid accumulation that might suggest heavy commercial or long-commute usage. At this mileage, the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components have experienced moderate working life, and while major mechanical intervention such as timing chain or clutch replacement would not yet be obligatory, it is reasonable to anticipate that certain consumable items have been replaced one or more times already. The absence of any mileage-related advisories is reassuring and suggests the vehicle has not been neglected in terms of routine servicing. Given that the MOT record is notably clean with no advisories to act upon, physical inspection should focus on age- and mileage-related deterioration that the standard MOT may not fully capture. The tyres warrant close scrutiny, including a check for sidewall perishing or cracking, which can occur on vehicles over five years old regardless of tread depth, as well as confirmation of uniform wear across both axles to rule out any underlying tracking or suspension geometry issues. Brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion, particularly on the rear axle, as standing moisture can cause pitting or lipping even on a regularly used vehicle. The handbrake mechanism and rear calipers, known potential weak points on the Juke platform, should be checked for binding or seized operation. During a test drive, attention should be paid to any clonking or knocking from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, as the lower wishbone bushes and anti-roll bar drop links are prone to wear and may not yet have triggered an advisory. Further buyer due diligence should include verification of service history documentation, confirming regular oil and filter changes at appropriate intervals, and inspection of the twelve-volt battery, which on an eleven-year-old vehicle is highly likely due for replacement and can cause electrical gremlins if degraded. Coolant and brake fluid should be assessed for age-related degradation, as both are time-served rather than purely mileage-dependent and typically require replacement every two to three years to maintain corrosion protection and braking performance respectively. The exhaust system should be checked externally for signs of corrosion at mounting points and joints, given the vehicle's age and exposure to road salts. Finally, a thorough scan for any illuminated dashboard warning lights, particularly regarding the engine management system, and a road test covering warm and cold starts, will help confirm that the vehicle remains in sound mechanical order beyond what the clean MOT record alone can verify.
