2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · LS63 RNA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 69,961 miles passed with only minor lighting and tyre defects, the previous year showed a period of mechanical instability. A significant failure occurred in early May 2025 involving multiple critical failures across the exhaust, suspension, and steering systems. The trend is currently improving, but the history suggests the owner only addresses faults once they result in an MOT failure. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 69,961 miles represents an average of approximately 5,382 miles per year. This low-use profile often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. Data shows that between May 2024 and May 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,571 miles, which is consistent with low-frequency use. However, the recurring reports of perished and cracked tyres across multiple years suggest the car may sit for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension geometry specifically, as the 2025 failure flagged excessive play in the track rod ends and a damaged dust cover on the lower arm ball joint. While these were reportedly repaired, the recurring nature of tyre wear suggests a potential alignment issue or worn steering system components. The major exhaust leak and lambda sensor failure noted in 2025 also require a physical check to ensure the exhaust system is fully sealed and the catal converter is functioning efficiently. Final attention should be paid to the offside rear tyre, which has been flagged for cracking and damage in 2024, 2025, and 2026. This persistent issue indicates the tyre is reaching its structural life limit despite low tread, necessitating immediate replacement. The nearside rear brake pads noted as thin in 2024 should also be checked for current thickness to ensure uneven wear has not occurred during the low mileage intervals.
