2021 Nissan Juke Tekna + DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · GN05 GEO

The 2026-08-14 MOT result showed the vehicle failing with multiple tyre advisories, following two clean passes in 2025 and 2024. The recurring tyre issues across front and rear positions—worn-offside-front tyre edge damage, cracked nearside front and rear tyres, and a nail embedded in the offside front tyre—indicate a systemic problem rather than isolated wear. This pattern of repeated failures on successive tests at the same date suggests deteriorating tyre conditions or emerging structural faults that are not being resolved, marking a concerning shift from the previously clean records. With 27,761 miles logged over approximately five years, the vehicle accumulates roughly 5,550 miles annually—a figure well below the norm for its model class. Such low utilisation over such a period implies either very limited driving or prolonged periods of immobility, which can conceal underlying mechanical degradation. The narrow gap between the 2025 and 2026 test windows further supports a scenario of sporadic use rather than regular operation, making the tyre and suspension advisories particularly relevant to the vehicle's current state. The specific advisories from the 2026-08-14 test demand particular attention during a test drive. The worn-offside-front tyre edge damage and the cracked nearside tyres suggest possible subframe flexing or mounting point deterioration that accelerates lateral wear. Listen for any knocking or hopping over bumps, especially when navigating corners, as compromised tyres can transmit vibrations through the suspension. Additionally, inspect the rear tyres for similar damage patterns and verify that no foreign objects remain trapped, which could cause sudden failure. Because the failures occurred across multiple axles simultaneously, examine the suspension bushings, control arm links, and coil spring mounts for signs of fatigue or lubricant breakdown. Cracked tyres often originate from underlying structural weakness in the subframe or wheel arches, so a visual inspection of the subfloor and mounting bolts is essential. If the vehicle has been stored for extended periods, check that the chassis remains free of rust to prevent corrosion from compromising attachment points. Given the repeated nature of the advisories, a professional inspection focusing on these areas is advisable before finalising the purchase.
