2013 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · LL63 ABK

The Nissan Juke’s MOT history presents a stable but irregular pattern, with no mechanical defects recorded in any of the five tests spanning 2021 to 2024. The most recent pass in April 2024 at 92,263 miles confirms the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards, though the prior failure in February 2024—just 693 miles earlier—suggests the car was driven without a valid certificate for over two months. This inconsistency raises questions about compliance, though the absence of defects implies any issues were administrative rather than technical. The earlier failures in January 2023 and September 2021 also show no recorded faults, reinforcing that the Juke has not exhibited persistent mechanical or structural problems during testing. Mileage accumulation has been modest, averaging around 7,097 miles per year, which aligns with typical light-to-moderate use for its age. The gap between the September 2021 pass (72,104 miles) and the January 2023 tests (82,530–82,544 miles) indicates a two-year period with minimal driving—approximately 5,000 miles over 24 months—before activity picked up again. This suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods in storage or seen limited use, which could impact fluid condition, battery health, and rubber component degradation. The most recent 10,000-mile stretch between February 2023 and April 2024 was covered in under 15 months, a slightly faster pace but still within reasonable bounds for a 13-year-old car. Given the clean MOT records, no recurring advisories or defects have been logged, meaning there’s no evidence of chronic suspension wear, binding brakes, or structural corrosion. That said, a prospective buyer should verify the condition of high-wear components in person, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common failure points on this model. The brake system—including calipers, discs, and pads—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the car has sat unused for long periods. Tyre condition and tread depth are critical, given the irregular mileage pattern, as prolonged storage can accelerate dry rot or uneven deterioration. Finally, inspect for any signs of rust around wheel arches, sills, or exhaust mounts, as these areas are prone to corrosion on older Juke models.
