2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · HD11 CYW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend of deferred mechanical repairs. While the car passed its April 2026 test at 133,359 miles, it failed that test days prior due to multiple safety-critical steering, suspension, and braking faults. The persistence of corroded brake pipes and worn steering components across a three-year period indicates that the owner only addresses the minimum requirements necessary to pass the test rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per year which is typical for a 15-year-old Nissan Juke. The data shows a steady progression of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles between annual tests from 2023 to 2026. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat excessively, but the cumulative mileage has placed significant stress on rubber-based suspension components and hydraulic lines, which is clearly reflected in the recurring advisories. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering and front suspension. The record flags the steering rack inner joints and lower suspension arm ball joints as problematic since 2024, with the offside front ball joint finally failing in April 2026. Furthermore, the corrosion on both the offside front and rear brake pipes is a long-term issue; the presence of grease on these pipes suggests an attempt to hide rust which could lead to a sudden hydraulic failure. Attention should also be paid to the engine's sealing integrity, as non-excessive oil leaks have been noted since at least 2024. The history of perishing tyres and uneven wear suggests potential alignment issues or that basic rubber component upkeep has been neglected. Given the recent failure for an ineffective windscreen wiper and worn-out tyres, the buyer should verify that the remaining tread depth is sufficient and that the wipers have actually been replaced with high-quality parts.
