2018 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · LX68 LUW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 34,106 miles without defects, this followed a failure just one day prior. That failure identified critical issues including thin front brake pads, pitted discs, and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This sequence suggests the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than following scheduled service intervals. At eight years old, the recorded 34,106 miles represent significantly below-average usage, averaging approximately 4,263 miles per year. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, yet the data shows a notable gap in mileage between January 2023 and October 2024, where the car covered only 6,672 miles in twenty months. Such periods of low use can lead to flat spotted tyres, rubber component degradation, and corrosion on brake surfaces, which may align with the scored and pitted discs noted in the 2025 test. A buyer should personally inspect the front braking system to ensure the discs and pads replaced in October 2025 are of adequate quality and not prematurely worn again. The recurring mention of thin pads in both 2024 and 2025 indicates a tendency to ignore consumable items until they fail. Given the low mileage, a thorough check of the condition of the suspension bushes and rubber seals is essential, as these components often age and crack when vehicles sit stationary for long periods.
