2017 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · MF17 CNU

A pattern of recurring advisory items around the front suspension and rear braking components dominates this Nissan Juke's MOT record, even though the vehicle has not suffered a failed test since 2022. The most recent examination on 25 June 2026 returned a clean pass with no advisories recorded, which suggests that the wear items previously flagged may have been attended to in the intervening months. Across the eight tests documented since 2020, only one failure has been recorded, and that was in July 2022 when a nearside front tyre was found to have tread depth below the 1.6mm dangerous limit, accompanied by an advisory for the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit. Aside from that single tyre-related failure, the roadworthiness history is otherwise composed of advisories rather than failures, with the same front suspension arm bush wear appearing in both 2024 and 2025, and rear brake disc and pad wear surfacing in 2024 alongside a noted nail in the offside rear tyre. The recorded mileage of 26,955 miles across a nine-year-old vehicle equates to an average accumulation of approximately 2,995 miles per year, which is notably low for the age and model. This kind of usage profile typically points to a vehicle that has either been used primarily for short urban trips or has experienced extended periods of standing between journeys. Such low annual mileage often translates to less wear on high-mileage components such as the clutch, drivetrain and major engine internals, but it can conversely accelerate the deterioration of rubber components, brake calipers that may bind through infrequent use, and underbody protection through lack of regular rinsing of road grime and salt. The mileage progression between tests is broadly consistent with this low-use profile, with no evidence of sudden mileage spikes that would suggest inconsistent or commercial usage patterns in the recorded period. For a prospective buyer, the front suspension arm bush wear that has now appeared in two consecutive tests is the area warranting closest physical attention, as this component can deteriorate progressively even at low mileages, particularly on vehicles that have seen long standing periods where rubber elements dry out and harden. On a test drive, listen for clonking or knocking noises from the front end over uneven surfaces, speed humps and potholes, and pay particular attention to any vagueness or delay in steering response when changing direction. The rear brake disc and pad advisories from 2024, combined with the clear 2026 pass, suggest these items may have been replaced, so it would be prudent to inspect the rear discs directly for any lipping at the outer edge and to confirm the handbrake holds firmly on an incline without excessive travel. Also check for any binding or dragging sensation when releasing the handbrake, as caliper slides that seize are a known issue on lightly used vehicles of this age. Given the July 2022 tyre failure and the subsequent advisories regarding cracking and perishing on rear tyres in 2024, a close inspection of all four tyres for sidewall cracking, tread wear patterns and overall age is advisable, even though the 2025 and 2026 tests did not repeat these observations. The wipers were also flagged in 2025, and although only a minor defect at that time, replacing both front wiper blades is an inexpensive precaution to ensure clear visibility. Beyond the directly recorded items, the low annual mileage warrants a careful check for any signs of dried or perished rubber seals around doors and the tailgate, evidence of condensation inside the headlamp units, and any staining on the underbody or within the wheel arches that might indicate standing water or salt retention from infrequent use. A thorough road test paying attention to cold-start behaviour, the operation of the clutch and gearbox, and confirmation that the electronic systems, including the infotainment, climate control and camera-based driver aids, function correctly would complete a sensible evaluation of this Juke.
