2017 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · ML67 FVZ

The vehicle presents a clean current MOT status, with the most recent test on March 24 2026 at 18,822 miles passing with no defects recorded. This indicates that the car currently meets the minimum safety and environmental standard requirements. However, the historical data reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. In the April 2024 test at 14,951 miles, the vehicle failed initially due to front brake pads being below the 1.5mm threshold and perishing on three tyres. While these issues were rectified to pass the retest, the failure suggests the owner waited for components to fail before seeking replacement. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. This low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it introduces specific risks related to rubber-based components. The 2024 advisory regarding cracking and perishing on tyres is a classic symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary for long periods, causing the rubber to dry out despite having ample tread depth. The absence of defects in the 2021, 2022, and 2025 tests suggests the vehicle was in a stable state during those intervals, but the recurring brake and tyre issues in 2023 and 2024 warrant attention. Focus on the age of the tyres and the condition of the braking system rather than tread wear. Given the previous perishing noted, the tyres may be nearing their structural end due to age even if they have not been driven extensively. It is also worth checking for brake rust or seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles are not used regularly. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or significant mechanical failure in the record, suggesting the chassis remains sound for its age.
