2021 Nissan Juke N-Connecta DIG-T 1.0L Petrol · LM71 KZD

The vehicle presents a history of inconsistent maintenance regarding safety-critical consumables. In the most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 51,147 miles, the Juke initially failed due to critical tyre defects, specifically exposed cords on both the nearside and offside front tyres which represent an immediate structural risk. The tester also identified rear brake pads worn below the 1.5mm legal threshold and a binding nearside rear service brake. While the vehicle passed on the same day following repairs, the data suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when forced by a failure rather than following a proactive maintenance schedule. At 51,147 miles over five years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK road usage patterns. However, the record shows a recurring issue with tyre quality and alignment. Since the 2024 test at 39,025 miles, the offside rear tyre has consistently flagged for uneven wear and reaching the legal limit. This recurring fault indicates a persistent alignment problem or worn suspension components that have not been properly rectified despite multiple MOT advisories. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system. The reported binding of the nearside rear brake in late 2025 suggests a sticking caliper or a seized slide pin that requires professional attention. Given the history of uneven tyre wear across multiple years, a full wheel alignment and inspection of the suspension bushes are essential to prevent premature tyre degradation. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the record reflects a reactive rather than preventative approach to upkeep.
