2014 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · LM64 GPU

A notably clean MOT record defines this twelve-year-old Nissan Juke, with four consecutive passes from 2021 onwards and only two minor advisories logged across the entire five-test history available for review. The most recent examination on 22 April 2025 recorded a pass with a single advisory noting that items had been removed from the driver's view prior to test, which is an administrative observation rather than a mechanical defect and bears no relevance to structural or component condition. Prior to that, the 2022 and 2023 tests passed without any advisories at all, and the 2024 examination was similarly clean. The only component-specific advisory in the entire record was issued on 22 November 2021, flagging the nearside rear tyre as worn close to the legal limit at 2mm tread on a 215/55R17, which is a routine consumable observation expected on a vehicle of this age and mileage. The absence of any recurring advisories on suspension, braking, corrosion, exhaust, or steering components suggests a stable mechanical condition with no emerging patterns of deterioration flagged by the testing station. Mileage accumulation has been moderate and consistent for the vehicle's age, with the current reading of 81,781 miles representing an average of roughly 6,815 miles per year over its twelve-year life. This places it squarely within expected parameters for a car that has seen regular but not intensive use, with annual mileage consistent enough to keep mechanical components properly bedded and lubricated without exposing them to the accelerated wear typically associated with high-mileage commercial or motorway-driven vehicles. There are no obvious gaps in the testing history that would suggest prolonged periods off the road with associated risks of seized brakes, deteriorated rubber seals, or discharged battery damage. The continuity of testing from 2021 through 2025 indicates the vehicle has remained in active service, which is generally favourable for maintaining the health of drivetrain, suspension, and braking components. For a prospective buyer, the primary area meriting close attention is the rear tyre wear pattern flagged in 2021, given that uneven edge wear on the nearside rear can sometimes point to rear axle geometry issues, weakened coil springs, or worn suspension bushes that may have developed since that advisory was issued. On a test drive, listen for any clonking or knocking from the rear suspension over speed bumps and rough surfaces, and pay particular attention to whether the vehicle sits level at the rear when unloaded, as a sagging nearside could indicate a weakened spring. Check the current tread depth across all four tyres with particular focus on the rear pair, and inspect the sidewalls for any signs of cracking or bulging that could suggest age-related rubber degradation, especially given that the original advisory was over four years ago and replacement tyres may themselves now be due for renewal. The braking system, steering components, and underbody corrosion have all passed scrutiny without advisories across five consecutive tests, which is a positive indicator, though a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection given the vehicle's age and exposure to road salt. During a test drive, apply the brakes firmly from speed and feel for any pulling to one side, vibration through the pedal, or grinding noises that might suggest worn discs or binding calipers. Listen for any knocking or rattling from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly from the lower wishbones and anti-roll bar links, which are known wear items on vehicles of this mileage and age. Finally, inspect the exhaust system visually for any signs of corrosion or blowing joints, and check the underside of the vehicle for any fresh oil leaks or weeping from the engine and transmission, as these would not necessarily have been flagged on previous tests if they have only recently developed.
