2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · GL61 UOR

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-20 recorded a pass with minor issues: both front headlamps had surface contaminants on the lenses, but these did not significantly reduce light output. This is a non-critical defect and does not pose an immediate safety risk. A recurring pattern of suspension-related defects emerges in the history. In 2025-01-22, the nearside front suspension arm ball joint was excessively worn (failed test), and the offside joint had slight play. By 2024-01-23, the nearside joint showed slight play again, and rear brake pads were wearing thin. The 2026 test confirmed the offside joint still had slight play, indicating persistent suspension wear. A serious defect occurred in 2025-01-22 when the nearside rear coil spring was fractured. This is a critical safety issue requiring immediate repair, as a broken spring can compromise vehicle stability and control. No follow-up record of this repair is present in the history. The trend suggests worsening suspension wear over time, with ball joints and brake components showing recurring issues.
