2018 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · MG64 FOY

A consistently clean MOT record across four consecutive annual tests suggests the vehicle has not been recorded with any roadworthiness defects; the latest inspection on 15 May 2025 passed without comment, continuing a pattern of no noted failures or advisories since the first test in 2018. This uninterrupted series of passes points to an absence of documented safety‑critical issues during the periods examined. The odometer reads 18 073 miles after eight years, equating to roughly 2 260 miles per annum – markedly lower than the typical usage for a compact SUV of this age. Such modest accumulation generally reduces the mechanical wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and tyre tread, but it also raises the possibility that the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary, which can allow seals and rubber components to age irrespective of mileage. When you inspect the Juke, confirm that tyre tread depth meets the legal minimum and look for any uneven wear that could hint at mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes. Apply the brakes firmly at low speed; listen for any squeal or feel for pedal pulsation that might betray thin pads or warped discs, even though none were recorded at MOT. Check the steering for any play or shudder over bumps, which would indicate deteriorated ball joints or tie‑rod ends, and verify that the suspension feels firm without excessive knocking. Examine the battery terminals for corrosion and ensure the charge holds, as long idle periods can affect electrolyte balance despite the lack of MOT‑recorded faults. Finally, run a brief road test to detect any steering pull, abnormal vibrations, or exhaust leaks that could have developed since the last inspection. Confirm that all exterior and interior lights illuminate correctly, that the windscreen wipers clear the glass without streaking, and that the emission control system operates without warning lights. A thorough visual check for rust around wheel arches, under the chassis and on the door sills will also reveal any age‑related corrosion that would not appear on MOT documentation. These targeted observations will give you a realistic picture of the vehicle’s current mechanical condition beyond the clean MOT history.
