Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. This N
Given the history of failures, you should request a detailed service history to see if the issues noted in the MOTs—such as the track rod end, suspension bushes, and exhaust back box—were professionally repaired. Negotiate the price downwards if there is any evidence that the recent oil leak or parking brake issues have not been fully addressed.
Specifically, ask for proof of work regarding the exhaust system and the parking brake adjustment, as these have appeared as failures or advisories multiple times. Ensure the oil leak mentioned in the 2024 and 2026 tests is not a sign of a more significant gasket or seal failure.
As a 1.5L diesel model, this Juke is likely to offer decent fuel economy for motorway driving, though real-world figures will depend on maintenance. Insurance groups for the Juke vary, so check the specific rating for this 1461cc engine.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the recurring nature of the advisories. You should budget for potential upcoming repairs to suspension components and braking systems, which have been highlighted in recent MOT records.
Pay close attention to the underside of the engine; the MOT history shows an oil leak noted in both 2024 and 2026. You should also inspect the exhaust system thoroughly, as a major leak in the back box was a cause for failure in February 2026.
Test the parking brake's effectiveness and the movement of the lever, as 'excessive movement' and 'efficiency below requirements' have been noted previously. Additionally, check the condition of the front suspension bushes and track rod ends, as these have been points of failure or advisory in the past.
This 2013 black diesel Nissan Juke has covered 92,840 miles since its first registration in March 2013. The MOT history shows a pattern of failures related to exhaust leaks, parking brake efficiency, and suspension wear. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026, the record indicates recurring issues with oil leaks and component deterioration.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.2%, with common failure points being ball joints, exhausts, and headlamps.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2013 model year cars.
- Xtronic CVT FailureSerious
Early Jatco CVT cars can whine, flare and eventually lose drive if fluid changes have been ignored or the transmission has spent its life in town traffic.
- Front Top Mount and Drop-Link WearModerate
The Juke’s firm setup and UK roads mean front top mounts and drop links often start knocking or creaking well before major mileage.
- Air-Conditioning Condenser CorrosionModerate
The condenser sits in a vulnerable position behind the grille and often corrodes or gets stone-damaged, leaving the air conditioning weak or completely inoperative.
