2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · FP14 XSR

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 26 November 2025 with no defects recorded, which is a positive indicator of its current roadworthiness. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable, although there was a notable failure in September 2023 involving a major exhaust leak and lighting faults. The subsequent clean pass in 2025 suggests that these issues, along with earlier advisories regarding suspension dust covers and brake wear, have been addressed or are currently managed. With a recorded mileage of 93,374 miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,781 miles per year. This usage rate is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent pattern of use rather than prolonged periods of standing or excessive heavy-duty mileage. Mechanically, this means the vehicle is likely to exhibit standard wear on its consumables and drivetrain components, and the buyer should expect the wear levels to be consistent with a moderately used urban or commuter vehicle. Particular attention should be paid to the steering and suspension components. The 2024 records highlighted deteriorated dust covers on the track rod ends and the front lower suspension arm ball joints. While these were minor defects, compromised dust covers can allow grit to enter the joint, leading to premature failure. During a test drive, listen for any clunking or knocking sounds when traversing uneven surfaces and feel for any vagueness or play in the steering wheel. Additionally, the history shows a recurring pattern of thin brake pads on both the front and rear axles; verify that the braking system feels firm and is free from shudder or squealing, as this indicates whether a full refresh of the pads and discs has been performed. The tyre history is a point of concern, with multiple advisories for perishing, cracking, and uneven wear on the rear and front tyres between 2019 and 2023. Even if the current tyres have legal tread depth, inspect the sidewalls closely for fine cracks or dry rot, which is common in vehicles where tyres are left on for several years. Finally, given the previous major failure of the central rear exhaust pipe joint, check for any signs of weld repairs or aftermarket patches on the exhaust system and listen for an abnormal drone or leak during acceleration to ensure the structural integrity of the exhaust remains intact.
