2014 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · ML64 GYY

The 2014 Nissan Juke presented a PASSED outcome at its most recent DVSA roadworthiness examination on 26 September 2025, with no defects or advisories recorded against the test. Reviewing the available MOT history from 2021 through 2025, the vehicle has achieved five consecutive passes with a clean sheet throughout, indicating a stable and consistent maintenance profile with no emerging patterns of deterioration in the safety-critical items scrutinised under the MOT regime. The absence of any advisory entries across these five consecutive tests suggests that components such as the braking system, tyres, suspension, lighting, and exhaust have remained within satisfactory limits, which is reassuring for a prospective buyer reviewing the recorded data. With an odometer reading of 13,246 miles against a chassis that is now twelve years of age, this Juke has been covering on average only around 1,104 miles annually, which is exceptionally low and points towards significant periods of standing or only very light occasional use. Such a usage profile carries particular mechanical implications distinct from those of a higher-mileage equivalent. Perished or aged components, standing corrosion on brake discs, seized or binding brake calipers, and degraded rubber and polymer items become more pertinent concerns than the wear patterns associated with sustained driving. The low annual accumulation means that drivetrain and engine wear are minimal, but conversely the engine, transmission, and ancillary systems may have been subjected to short journeys that prevent the oil from reaching operating temperature and evaporating internal condensation, potentially leading to oil degradation and increased internal moisture over the years. From a practical inspection standpoint, the buyer should pay particular attention to the condition of the tyres, including the sidewalls, as rubber compounds deteriorate with calendar age regardless of tread depth, and a twelve-year-old set of original tyres would almost certainly be well past their safe service life even if the tread meets the legal minimum. The brake discs and calipers should be physically examined for surface corrosion and any evidence of seizing, as prolonged standing can cause the pads to corrode to the disc face, leading to juddering, uneven braking, or an initial grinding sensation on the first application after the vehicle has been parked. The handbrake mechanism should also be exercised and checked for travel, as cables and rear caliper actuators can seize from lack of use. Further attention should be directed towards time-sensitive service items that are governed by age rather than mileage, including the condition of the 12-volt battery, which on a vehicle of this age is highly likely to be approaching or past its replacement cycle and should be load tested. All fluids, including engine coolant, brake fluid, and gearbox lubricant, degrade through oxidation and moisture absorption over time, so the service book should be consulted to verify that these have been changed at calendar-appropriate intervals regardless of the low odometer. On the test drive, listen for any suspension clonks or knocks that might indicate perished or deteriorated bushes, top mounts, or coil springs, particularly over speed bumps and uneven surfaces, and observe for any pulling under braking that could indicate a binding caliper. Finally, confirming that the vehicle has been stored appropriately, ideally dry and used regularly enough to keep seals, hoses, and gaskets supple, will be central to ensuring that this low-mileage example remains a sound mechanical proposition.
