2016 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · GU16 VLM

The 2016 Nissan Juke presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 55,874 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from October 2022 through October 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 6 October 2023 at 43,495 miles, which the DVSA record shows with no defects cited, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at the same mileage. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle has since shown no recurring advisories or worsening condition. The odometer traces a low-use pattern for a ten-year-old vehicle. From the 7 October 2022 test at 38,065 miles, the car covered just 5,430 miles to the October 2023 test, then 5,754 miles to October 2024 at 49,249 miles, and a further 6,625 miles to the October 2025 pass at 55,874 miles. Annual averages sit near 5,600 miles, well below typical household use. Such low accumulation over a decade can mean prolonged standing periods, which often accelerate perishable component degradation like tyre sidewall cracking, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers even when the MOT shows clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The clean history gives no flagged corrosion, suspension bush wear, or exhaust emission concerns, but standing time at low mileage hides risks the MOT will not catch. We would advise checking brake disc condition for rust pitting, verifying the handbrake mechanism is not binding after idle months, and inspecting all four tyres for age-related hardening irrespective of tread depth. The absence of advisories across five years implies previous owners kept the Juke to a basic statutory standard rather than proactive maintenance. Given the 2023 same-day fail-and-pass with zero defects, no pattern of neglected consumables or structural neglect emerges. The vehicle reads as a lightly used, sound example, though pre-purchase scrutiny of rubber components and underbody integrity remains prudent.
