2020 Nissan Juke N-Connecta DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · GL70 CPX

The most recent MOT, carried out on 2 December 2025, resulted in a full pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle met all mandatory safety and emissions criteria at that time. Over the preceding three years the car has consistently passed its MOT, with only a pair of tyre‑wear advisories noted at the December 2024 test. The absence of any substantive failures and the fact that the tyre advisories have not recurred suggest a stable, if not slightly improving, maintenance record, provided the current owner has addressed the tyre condition since the last inspection. At six years old the Juke has logged 28 156 miles, which works out to just under 4 700 miles per annum – well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Such low annual mileage often points to relatively light usage or periods of inactivity, both of which can be beneficial for wear‑related components but may also expose the car to age‑related deterioration such as rubber hardening, battery sulfation, and corrosion on suspension bushings and brake hardware. There are no obvious gaps in the recorded mileage, so the figure appears genuine rather than the result of odometer rollback. Prospective buyers should give the front tyres a thorough visual and tactile inspection. Even if the tread depth now exceeds the legal minimum, the previous advisory about edge wear may indicate early cupping or uneven loading, which can be aggravated by mis‑aligned suspension or worn steering components. Look for surface cracking, sidewall bulges, or foreign objects lodged in the tread, and verify that the tyre pressures match the manufacturer’s specifications. During a short test drive, listen for any thumping, squeaking or vibration that could betray a developing tyre defect, and feel for any pull to one side that might betray mis‑alignment or worn front‑end bushings. Because the vehicle has spent a considerable proportion of its life at relatively low mileage, time‑based maintenance is paramount. Inspect the 12‑volt battery for signs of sulphation, check the electrolyte level if it is a serviceable type, and consider a load test to confirm cranking capacity. Examine the brake discs and pads for surface rust, glazing or uneven wear, especially if the car has been stationary for extended periods – a light pulsation or shudder under moderate braking would be a warning sign. Verify that the coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid have been replaced within the recommended intervals (typically every two to three years) and look for any signs of leakage around the engine bay, exhaust manifold and under the vehicle. Finally, check the condition of the suspension components – rubber bushings, coil springs and shock absorbers – for cracks, oil seepage or excessive play, as ageing rubber can deteriorate even without high mileage, potentially leading to clunking noises or a loose feeling when navigating bumps.
