2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · LP11 YEB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of worsening mechanical neglect. While it passed the most recent test in September 2025 at 111,339 miles, the failure just three weeks prior at 110,810 miles highlights a significant lack of proactive upkeep. That failure documented multiple critical defects across the suspension, braking, and lighting systems, suggesting that the owner only addresses the bare minimum required to pass an MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 111,339 miles over 15 years, the Juke averages approximately 7,400 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-intensity usage. However, the data shows a sharp increase in usage between August 2024 (95,490 miles) and August 2025 (110,810 miles), with over 15,000 miles covered in a single year. This rapid acceleration likely correlates with the sudden deterioration of components seen in the 2025 failure report, particularly the worn ball joints and suspension bushes. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front suspension geometry and braking assembly. The 2025 record flagged excessive wear on both front ball joints and de-graded suspension arm bushes, alongside a damaged track rod end dust cover which invites further grit ingress. Furthermore, the rear brake pads were found at the legal limit of 1.5mm, and the parking brake was only just meeting efficiency standards. A buyer should verify that these components were actually replaced rather than merely adjusted, and should also inspect the engine bay for the non-excessive oil leak noted during the 2025 test to ensure it has not progressed into a more significant failure.
