2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · LD61 ORZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward mechanical wear after several clean years. The most recent test in February 2026 at 76,848 miles identified emerging issues with the braking system and front suspension, specifically a pitted nearside front brake disc and a worn offside front lower suspension arm bush. While the vehicle passed, the note regarding imbalanced brake requirements just barely being met indicates that the system is entering a phase where components require proactive attention to prevent future failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between February 2024 and February 2025, where the car covered over 9,000 miles in a single year. This increased activity likely correlates with the failure in February 2025, where multiple components including the exhaust center section and suspension linkages were flagged. Prior to this period, the vehicle appears to have sat for longer intervals, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and tyres despite low overall mileage. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry closely, as the record shows a history of wear in anti-roll bar linkages, track rod ends, and lower arm bushes. The major exhaust leak noted in 2025 should be verified to ensure the repair was comprehensive and not merely a temporary fix. Given the history of perishing tyres in early 2025, the current rubber components should be checked for sidewall cracking or age-related deterioration that follows long periods of standing. A physical check of the brake discs is also necessary to ensure the imbalance noted in the latest test does not result in pulling or judder under heavy braking.
