2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · LG63 WUL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test on August 1 2025 at 96,160 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just two miles prior. While the failed suspension ball joint was addressed, the tester still flagged a minor exhaust leak at the nearside rear silencer and play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage. This suggests that while critical failures are being rectified, secondary wear is remaining unaddressed. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. There is a clear accumulation of roughly 7,000 miles between the August 2023 and July 2024 tests, and another 7,800 miles recorded between July 2024 and August 2025. This steady usage suggests the car is driven regularly, which is generally better for seals and components than long periods, though it explains the inevitable wear on rubber-based suspension components and tyres seen in the record. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, given the recurring issues with ball joints and anti-roll bar linkages across the 2023 and 2025 tests. The previous failure of the offside front lower ball joint indicates the front end assembly may be under stress or nearing further wear. Additionally, the persistent exhaust leak noted in the latest pass requires a close look to determine if it is a minor surface corrosion or a developing crack that will worsen. Given the history of uneven tyre wear in 2023, a professional alignment check is also advisable to ensure the suspension is not causing premature tyre degradation.
