2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · ML04 AAA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 78,990 miles passed, it flagged a corroded offside front brake pipe covered in grease. This is a recurring defect that first appeared in February 2025, suggesting that the previous issue was either not fully rectified or that the corrosion is progressing despite the one-year interval between tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 64,339 miles in 2022 to 78,990 miles in early 2026. This low annual mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the 2025 advisories regarding perishing tyres and worn suspension bushes, which occur due to age and standing time rather than high mileage. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the offside front brake pipe. The presence of grease on a corroded pipe is often an attempt to mask rust or hide a leak, so the line should be checked for structural integrity. Furthermore, the nearside front suspension arm bush flagged as worn in 2025 requires verification for excessive play, as neglected bushes lead to uneven tyre wear. The history of thin brake pads and multiple tyre defects suggests the owner tends to replace components only when they approach failure limits. Inspect the current state of all four tyres for sidewall cracking and uneven wear, as the 2025 test highlighted multiple issues with inflation and edge wear. Ensure the rear brakes have been serviced recently, as they were noted as thin as far as 2022.
