2017 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · MJ67 EXN

A significant lapse in the testing record defines this vehicle's current status, as there has been no recorded MOT inspection since the pass on 27 October 2023. Prior to this gap, the vehicle demonstrated a stable record of roadworthiness from 2020 to 2021, before developing recurring advisories regarding front brake pad wear and tyre tread depth in the 2022 and 2023 tests. This transition from a clean record to one with multiple consumables flagged suggests a trend of increasing wear on the front axle components immediately preceding the cessation of the testing history. The recorded mileage of 49,775 miles is low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,531 miles per year. While this indicates limited mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, the combination of low annual usage and the nearly three-year absence of an MOT suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for an extended period. Such usage patterns often shift the mechanical risk from active wear-and-tear to degradation caused by inactivity, which can impact rubber components and fluid integrity. Inspection should focus heavily on the front braking system and tyre condition, as both were flagged as wearing thin in the final two recorded tests. During a test drive, listen for any grinding or squealing from the front calipers and feel for any pulsation or lack of bite in the brake pedal, which would indicate the pads have reached their limit or the discs have suffered surface corrosion during the period of inactivity. The front tyres must be checked not only for tread depth but for sidewall cracking or flat spots resulting from long-term standing. Attention should also be paid to the undertrays mentioned in the 2022 record to ensure they are still securely fastened and not dragging or rattling. Given the age and the low mileage, check for any signs of perished suspension bushes or leaking shock absorbers, which can occur when a vehicle is not regularly exercised. Any unusual knocks or thumps when driving over uneven surfaces should be treated as potential evidence of degraded rubber components in the suspension linkages.
