2017 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · FN17 NKM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the latest test in August 2025 passed at 24,863 miles, the tester identified multiple defects including perished front suspension arm bushes and failing front tyres. This represents a departure from the clean records seen between 2022 and 2023, suggesting that components are now beginning to suffer from age-related degradation despite the low mileage driven. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,763 miles per year. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it often leads to premature failure of rubber-based components. The gap of 2,217 miles between July 2024 and August 2025 shows the car likely sits for long periods, which explains why the tyres have de-squared or perished to the point of requiring replacement regardless of the distance covered. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the worn lower arm pin bushes noted in the 2025 test indicate the start of structural play. The history also shows a pattern of brake-related neglect, with thin pads flagged in 2024 and a failure for insufficient lever travel back in July 2022. You should verify that the brake discs are not pitted or corroded from inactivity, a common issue with stationary vehicles. Additionally, check the sidewalls and tyres for cracking, as the 2025 advisory explicitly noted the tyres were starting to perish.
