2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · LL64 PXA

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend characterized by a recurring pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 108,566 miles resulted in multiple failures, including illegal tread depths on both front tyres and thin rear brake pads. While the car has passed between these failures, the frequency of mechanical defects in the steering and suspension systems suggests that components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure rather than being replaced during service intervals. At 108,566 miles over 12 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small hatchback. However, the mileage accumulation between tests shows significant bursts, such as the 8,300 miles driven between February 2024 and January 2025, and another 4,740 miles leading into the February 2026 test. While not excessively high, the consistent use explains the accelerated wear on the front-end suspension and braking components noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly, as the history shows persistent issues with ball joints, rack inner joints, and suspension arm bushes. The tester flagged corrosion on the rear axle in the February 2026 test, which requires a close look to determine if the rust is merely surface level or compromising structural integrity. Furthermore, the repeated mentions of worn front tyres across multiple years indicate a potential alignment issue that has not been properly rectified despite part replacements. The buyer should verify that the recent brake repairs following the latest failure were completed with sufficient thickness well above the legal minimum.
