2016 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · LT16 DME

The 2016 Nissan Juke holds a current MOT valid from February 2026, though its maintenance trend reveals a worsening pattern of deferred mechanical repairs. The most recent test at 72,260 miles passed but flagged a front oil leak, excessively worn front brake pads, and play in the nearside steering rack inner joint. A broken exhaust caused a failure in late February 2025 at 65,861 miles, yet the subsequent March 2025 test at 66,072 miles passed with only minor advisories, indicating the exhaust was patched rather than properly replaced. The tester flagged perished rear tyres and degraded front lower suspension bushes again in March 2025, recurring issues that suggest the previous owner neglected routine underbody and consumable upkeep. Accumulating 72,260 miles over ten years equates to roughly 7,200 miles annually, a typical figure indicating regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, moving from 53,899 miles in March 2023 to 72,260 miles by February 2026. There are no glaring gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded odometer readings, ruling out extended periods of disuse or clocking anomalies. The consistent annual distance places moderate wear on drivetrain components and consumables, aligning with the gradual deterioration of suspension bushes and brake components observed in the records. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the vehicle's structural integrity and underbody condition, given the recurring suspension and exhaust issues. The tester repeatedly flagged cracking and perished front lower suspension arm bushes, alongside persistent play in the nearside front lower ball joint and steering rack inner joint. These combined faults point to neglected suspension geometry, requiring close examination of the subframe and mounting points for corrosion or impact damage. The rear tyres have consistently suffered from sidewall cracking and uneven stepping, indicating the car may have been stored with low tyre pressures or misaligned tracking. Buyers must thoroughly inspect the exhaust system, particularly the back box mounting, and assess the front brake discs and oil leak source for excessive wear.
