2022 Nissan Juke Tekna HEV CVT 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · GL72 VWR

A 2022 Nissan Juke Tekna HEV with this MOT profile presents the cleanest possible roadworthiness narrative, having recorded a straightforward pass on the most recent examination dated 2 February 2026 with no advisories or defects of any category logged against it. A pass result with zero recorded items is the strongest indicator available from a single test cycle, as the examiner found nothing warranting either a failure item or a bring-forward advisory across the full scope of the MOT inspection. For a hybrid crossover of this age, the absence of early suspension wear, brake component degradation, or corrosion flags is notable, particularly given the sort of urban and mixed driving typically encountered by vehicles in this class. The single-test sample does limit any longitudinal trend analysis, but the baseline established is unquestionably a favourable one. With 23,559 miles accumulated over approximately four years of registration, this Juke is running at an average of around 5,890 miles per year, which sits comfortably below the typical annual mileage for a UK-used compact crossover and indicates either a secondary household vehicle, predominantly urban commuting use, or extended periods of inactivity between journeys. Lower annual mileages of this nature generally translate to reduced wear on friction components such as brake discs and pads, clutches or in this hybrid case the e-CVT transmission and brake regen hardware, plus lower overall stress on the petrol engine. The trade-off with light usage, however, is that certain perishable items can degrade through standing rather than active service, including the 12V auxiliary battery, tyre sidewalls and rubber components, brake discs suffering from surface corrosion, and the hybrid system itself when not regularly exercised through full thermal cycles. Given that the DVSA record offers no specific component advisories to interrogate, the test drive and physical inspection should focus on areas typically vulnerable on early examples of this hybrid Juke generation, regardless of MOT outcome. Listen carefully for any knocking or clonking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, paying particular attention to the lower control arm bushes and anti-roll bar link bushes, as these are common wear items on Nissan crossover platforms. During low-speed manoeuvring and braking, feel for any vibration through the steering wheel or judder under pedal pressure, which can indicate warped front brake discs often caused by prolonged standing rather than wear through use; also check that the electronic parking brake releases cleanly without any grinding or hesitation from the rear calipers. Inspect the tyres closely for uneven shoulder wear, cracking in the sidewalls, or flat spotting from extended standing, and verify that all four tyres are of matching brand, size, and tread depth since the hybrid system’s regenerative braking can mask uneven rear wear. Finally, confirm full hybrid system functionality with the dealer or seller present, including the ability to start the vehicle in EV-only mode, the seamless transition between petrol and electric drive, and the absence of any warning messages on the instrument cluster relating to the high-voltage system, hybrid battery state of health, or regen braking faults. Verify that the 12V auxiliary battery is recent and fully charged, as a weak cell can cause spurious hybrid warnings on these systems. Inspect under the bonnet for any signs of oil seepage around the HR15DE petrol engine’s cam cover and oil filter housing, check the coolant expansion tank level and condition given the hybrid thermal management system, and ensure there is no visible corrosion on underbody components such as the subframe, suspension arms, or exhaust heat shields. With the MOT history offering no mechanical concerns to address, the buyer’s focus should rightfully shift to verifying the integrity of the hybrid powertrain, confirming a complete service history with Nissan or a specialist, and ensuring the mileage and standing time align with the excellent condition suggested by the clean test record.
