2022 Nissan Juke Tekna DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · LT71 AOK

The Nissan Juke in question has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, most recently passing on 27 January 2026 at just 7,721 miles. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend over the past year, with no recurring issues or advisories to indicate worsening mechanical conditions. The absence of any failures or advisories in either test—spanning a 4,051-mile interval—implies the vehicle has not experienced significant wear or neglect in critical systems during that period. However, the most recent test occurred only six months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age, given the low mileage. The recorded mileage of 7,721 miles over four years—approximately 1,930 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly when compared to typical UK usage patterns. The gap between tests, 3,670 miles in 2025 and 4,051 miles in 2026, further suggests the car has spent extended periods stationary or under light use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on components like suspension bushes, brake pads, and drivetrain fluids, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored properly, potentially exposing it to moisture-related corrosion or fluid degradation over time. The lack of intermediate maintenance records means there is no confirmation of regular servicing or fluid changes, which could be critical for components like the differential, transmission, or cooling system. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the vehicle’s underbody and wheel arches for signs of corrosion, particularly around the suspension mounts, subframe, and exhaust system. The low mileage makes corrosion a more plausible concern than mechanical wear, so attention to structural integrity is warranted. Tyres should be checked for uneven wear, which could indicate alignment issues or prolonged stationary storage. The brakes, though not flagged in MOTs, should be assessed for binding calipers or uneven pad wear, as low-mileage vehicles can develop brake drag if not used regularly. Finally, the condition of the battery, fluids (coolant, brake fluid, power steering), and any signs of fluid leaks should be examined, as these are often overlooked in lightly used cars. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless.
