2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · LL62 XLD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative upkeep. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 76,044 miles resulted in several advisories regarding thin rear brake pads and surface corrosion on the rear axle mounting brackets. While these issues did not result in a failure, the appearance of multiple wear-related advisories suggests the vehicle is now entering a phase where age-related components require frequent attention. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,044 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,400 miles. This low usage pattern is consistent across the records, showing only 16,818 miles covered between 2022 and 2025. However, the low mileage may mask the potential degradation of rubber-based components due to time, which is evidenced by the failure in October 2024 where an excessively worn offside front lower suspension ball joint caused a worn tyre despite the low overall mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension to ensure the offside lower arm ball joint identified in 2024 was replaced with quality parts and that no new play has developed. The rear axle mounting brackets require close scrutiny; while the 2025 test noted corrosion was not yet seriously weakened, surface rust on structural points can accelerate rapidly in the UK climate if left untreated. Additionally, the thin rear brake pads noted in the latest report should be checked for immediate replacement to prevent damage to the rotors.
