2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · LL14 HMF

A clean and unblemished MOT record defines this 2014 Nissan Juke, with the most recent test on 17 February 2026 returning a pass with no advisories or defects recorded against the vehicle. The history shows a single pass in 2024 followed by a fail and subsequent pass in early 2025, and then a repeat of that same sequence in February 2026, where a fail was immediately followed by a pass on the same day. This pattern is characteristic of a vehicle being presented for test with a known minor issue, failing on that specific item, having a quick rectification carried out in the test bay car park, and then immediately retesting with a pass. It indicates the Juke has not been off the road suffering from chronic or structural defects, and there are no recurring advisories relating to corrosion, suspension wear, or brake component deterioration to suggest any underlying mechanical decline. The overall trajectory is one of stable roadworthiness rather than a vehicle progressively worsening or recovering from significant neglect. With a recorded mileage of 103,588 miles spread across roughly twelve years of service, this Juke has averaged approximately 8,632 miles annually, which sits comfortably within the expected range for a car of its age and class. There are no extended gaps in the testing history that would imply long periods of inactivity or SORN status, and the annual accumulation rate suggests steady, consistent use rather than heavy commercial mileage or excessive short-journey wear. Mechanically, this usage profile tends to be favourable for the drivetrain, allowing the engine, transmission, and turbo components to reach and maintain proper operating temperature, while the brakes and suspension benefit from regular exercise to prevent seizing. At this mileage, the timing chain, clutch, and turbocharger are the components most statistically likely to require attention on the 1.6 DIG-T or 1.5 dCi units, though nothing in the MOT history flags any specific powertrain concerns. For a prospective buyer, the absence of recorded advisories means there is no documented history of corroded brake pipes, perished suspension bushes, or worn ball joints to follow up on, but a thorough physical inspection is still essential given the odometer reading. On a test drive, listen carefully for any clonking or knocking from the front suspension over speed humps and uneven road surfaces, particularly from the lower control arm bushes and anti-roll bar drop links which are known wear items on the Juke platform. Check for uneven tyre wear across the axle, as this can indicate worn suspension geometry components or alignment issues, and inspect the inner and outer edges of the front brake discs for any lipping or scoring that would necessitate replacement. Steering should feel precise and self-centring without any vibration through the wheel under braking, and the clutch should engage smoothly without slipping or juddering when pulling away in first or reverse. Additional checks should focus on the areas typical for a Juke of this age and mileage. Inspect the underside of the vehicle, particularly the rear axle and exhaust mounting points, for any surface corrosion or broken hangers, and examine the engine bay for any signs of oil misting or weeping from the cam cover gasket and sump plug area. On the diesel variant, verify that the turbocharger and intercooler pipes are free from oil contamination and that the DPF has no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard. Finally, confirm that all warning lights extinguish promptly after ignition and that the air conditioning system blows cold, as compressor and condenser repairs are common on higher-mileage examples. Given the clean MOT history and sensible annual mileage, this vehicle presents as a mechanically sound proposition provided a careful physical inspection confirms the absence of any developing issues typical of its age and odometer reading.
