2016 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · GP16 AFA

The 2016 Nissan Juke’s most recent MOT test on 14 November 2025—just six months ago—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This clean pass follows a consistent pattern over the past three years, with no recurring advisories or failures, suggesting the vehicle has undergone regular, if not meticulous, servicing. The absence of binding brakes, excessive corrosion, or suspension faults in any test indicates the core mechanical and structural components have likely been maintained above average for its age. That said, the single failure in November 2024—despite the same mileage—stands out as anomalous, though no specific defect was logged, which may imply a procedural oversight rather than a mechanical issue. The recorded mileage progression of roughly 9,400 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The most notable gap is between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage increased by 11,600 miles in a year, yet the vehicle passed without issue. This suggests the owner either adhered to a strict servicing schedule or the Juke’s components were robust enough to tolerate higher mileage without failure. The lack of advisories in any test further implies no deferred maintenance has accumulated, though this does not preclude hidden wear in areas not routinely inspected, such as the subframe or rear diff. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension components—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—given their susceptibility to wear over 93,000 miles. The brakes, while never flagged, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or glazing, as binding was not explicitly ruled out in past tests. Corrosion is another critical area; despite no advisories, the underbody, wheel arches, and sills—common weak points on Juke models—should be scrutinised for hidden rust that could compromise structural integrity. Finally, the exhaust system warrants attention, as catalytic converter failures are occasionally masked until they reach a critical stage. The absence of emissions-related advisories does not guarantee longevity, so visual inspection of the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors is advisable.
