2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · LS62 KAJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the history reveals a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 115,115 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just eleven days prior. The trend shows a stable but persistent pattern of mechanical neglect, where the owner only appears to address faults once they result in an MOT failure rather than replacing wear and tear components between annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's fourteen year age, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. Between September 2023 at 94,130 miles and October 2025 at 115,415 miles, the car covered over 21,000 miles, indicating relatively steady usage patterns. This consistent use explains the progressive wear seen on consumables like tyres and brake components, though the lack of significant gaps suggests the components is reaching the end of their service life at regular intervals. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension geometry. The record flags issues with the nearside front track rod end and the offside front suspension arm ball joint across different years, suggesting the front end assembly is prone to premature wear. Furthermore, the braking system shows a history of pitted discs and thin pads dating back to 2023; the buyer should verify if the current brake surfaces have been replaced or merely cleaned, following those previous advisories. Attention is also required for safety-critical items that have appeared repeatedly. The central rear seat belt buckle has been a recurring failure point between 2023 and 2025, indicating a safety defect left ignored for at least two years. The persistent cracking and uneven wear on offside rear tyres in 2025 suggest either aged rubber compounds or an underlying alignment issue that needs be checked on a professional rig to ensure the vehicle does not prematurely consume new tyres.
