2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · GL61 AET

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑02‑17 at 99,448 miles, receiving only minor advisories: a windscreen chip that does not impair visibility, an offside rear tyre sidewall nail, slight play in the offside front track‑rod end ball joint and a deteriorated dust cover on the nearside front track‑rod end. The pattern of defects shows an improving trend after the 2024‑02‑19 failure, yet the persistence of suspension and steering wear indicates ongoing maintenance needs rather than a worsening condition. Mileage has progressed from 26,832 miles in December 2014 to 99,448 miles in February 2026, averaging roughly 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 15‑year‑old vehicle. The record contains notable gaps: a 2021‑03‑02 failure for a rear seat‑belt buckle and front tyre wear, followed by a pass two days later; a 2022‑02‑24 advisory for offside front tyre wear close to the legal limit; and a 2024‑02‑19 failure for front suspension arm wear, ball‑joint detachment risk, and brake disc/pad wear, succeeded by a same‑day pass noting the same brake issues. The latest test, only five months before the current date, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy but highlights recent wear. A buyer should inspect the front suspension arm ball joints and track‑rod ends for excessive play, examine the brake discs for pitting or scoring and the pads for thin wear, and check all tyres for sidewall damage such as the recorded nail and for tread depth at the legal limit. The windscreen should be inspected for chips that could affect visibility, and the underside should be examined for corrosion around suspension mounts and exhaust brackets. Any signs of rust or structural degradation would warrant further investigation before purchase.
