2021 Nissan Juke Tekna + DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · KH21 KAT

A consistent pattern of consumables reaching the end of their service life is the primary mechanical takeaway from this vehicle's recent inspection history. While the car achieved a pass on 05 June 2026, the progression from thin rear brake pads in June 2025 to a damaged or perishing offside rear tyre in the most recent test indicates a trend of components requiring replacement as they wear. The record shows a transition from mechanical wear items to rubber degradation, though no major structural or safety failures have been recorded since the initial testing began. The recorded mileage of 38,265 miles over approximately five years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,653 miles. This usage profile is typical for a modern passenger vehicle and suggests a pattern of regular, moderate road use rather than long periods of stationary storage or heavy high-speed motorway transit. Mechanically, this level of mileage means that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-wear thresholds, the vehicle is at a stage where standard wear items such as tyres, brake pads, and potentially suspension bushes will naturally begin to require attention. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres, specifically looking for the cracking or perishing noted on the offside rear tyre in the June 2026 advisory. During a test drive, it is advisable to inspect all tyres for uneven wear patterns or sidewall damage and to listen for any rhythmic thumping or humming noises that could indicate tyre deterioration. Given the previous advisory regarding thin rear brake pads, a thorough check of the braking system is necessary. Listen for any squealing or grinding sounds during deceleration and feel for any pulsation or judder through the brake pedal, which could indicate uneven pad wear or disc surface issues. The absence of recorded defects in the 2024 test suggests that the vehicle's structural integrity and primary systems were within legal limits at that time, but the subsequent advisories move the focus toward maintenance of peripheral components. Beyond the tyres and brakes, the driver should monitor the steering for any pulling or vibration and check that the suspension feels composed over bumps, ensuring that the moderate mileage has not resulted in premature wear of the shock absorbers or control arm bushings.
