2021 Nissan Juke N-Connecta DIG-T 1.0L Petrol · LL71 AOS

The most recent MOT, carried out on 29 October 2025, was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding test a year earlier also returned a clean result. This uninterrupted record of passes suggests a stable maintenance regime, with no evident deterioration in the items normally scrutinised by the MOT examiner. In the absence of any advisory notes, the vehicle appears to have been kept in a condition that meets the statutory safety and emissions standards, indicating at least an unchanged, if not slightly improving, overall roadworthiness profile. At five years old the Juke has logged 33 421 miles, which works out to just under 6 700 miles per annum. This figure sits comfortably within the UK average for a vehicle of this age and points to a moderate level of use rather than high‑stress, high‑kilometre operation. The mileage does not raise immediate concerns about accelerated wear of major wear items, but the relatively low annual average could also imply periods of inactivity, which can promote corrosion of brake components, tyre perishing and battery sulphation if the car has been stored for extended intervals. For a buyer, the first physical inspection should focus on the tyre condition, paying particular attention to sidewall cracking, hardening of the rubber and tread depth; even with modest mileage, tyres older than five years can suffer from dry‑rot. Examine the brake discs for surface rust, especially if the car has been idle for long stretches, and check that the pads are not excessively worn or uneven, which could indicate a sticking caliper. Inspect the suspension for any play in the front and rear bushes, cracked or collapsed coil springs, and listen for clunks over bumps, as age‑related fatigue can develop irrespective of mileage. Verify that the exhaust system is free of rust holes or cracked hangers and that there are no visible oil or coolant leaks around the engine bay and under the vehicle. Given the vehicle’s age, assess the health of the 12 V battery by checking voltage and performing a load test, as prolonged standing can reduce capacity. Confirm that the engine oil, coolant and brake fluid have been changed in accordance with the service schedule; fluids degrade over time even without high mileage and can lead to reduced lubrication or corrosion. Review the service book for evidence of regular oil changes, timing‑chain inspections (if applicable) and any manufacturer‑recommended time‑based interventions such as spark‑plug replacement. Finally, ensure that all warning lights on the instrument cluster illuminate correctly during a brief start‑up and that there are no intermittent faults, which could signal underlying electronic or sensor issues that are not captured by the MOT alone.
