2018 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · KX18 JEO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred consumable repairs. The most recent test in March 2026 at 57,017 miles flagged multiple urgent issues including thin front brake pads and all four tyres reaching legal limits or showing signs of perishing. This indicates a pattern where the owner waits to address components until they approach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance, which has led to an accumulation of defects in recent years. The mileage profile is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 5,600 miles between the 2025 test at 51,379 miles and the 2026 test at 57,017 miles. While the low annual mileage suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, the recurring advisories for cracking and perishing tyres—as seen in 2024, 2025, and 2026—along with the tread depth issues suggest the vehicle may sit for extended periods, allowing the rubber to age despite low use. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The tester noted play in both front ball joints in 2025, which needs to be verified to ensure they have been replaced or if the wear has progressed. The previously noted oil leak recorded in 2022 also requires a check of the engine seals and gearbox housing to confirm it has not developed into a significant leak. Given the 2026 report of thin pads and worn tyres, a full set of new tyres and a front brake overhaul are likely required to bring the car to a safe operating standard.
