2017 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · ML67 XRF

Tyre degradation forms the sole recurring theme across an otherwise routine MOT history for this Nissan Juke, which successfully passed its most recent test on 2025-09-09 at 36,258 miles. Out of eight recorded annual tests spanning from October 2020 to September 2026, the vehicle has accumulated only one failure, which occurred in October 2023 due to a structural cut in the offside rear tyre exposing the internal cords. While the test record shows frequent clean passes, recurring advisories for perishing and cracking sidewalls on both front and rear tyres across multiple years indicate that rubber aging is occurring faster than tread wear, pointing to potential environmental exposure or lower annual mileage patterns. With a total recorded distance of 36,258 miles across roughly nine years on the road, the vehicle averages approximately 4,029 miles annually, placing it firmly in the low-mileage category for its age. This restricted usage profile shows a consistent accumulation rate without any extended gaps or multi-year lay-ups, meaning the mechanical systems have been regularly exercised rather than left stagnant. While low annual mileages can sometimes spare suspension joints and drivetrain components from heavy wear, the repeated tyre degradation noted in the test records demonstrates that rubber components require close scrutiny regardless of low overall wear. For your physical inspection and test drive, pay immediate attention to the condition of all four tyres, specifically looking for the surface cracking and perishing noted in the MOT history. Since tyres degrade structurally over time as well as through mileage, inspect the sidewalls and tread blocks for deep fissures, and verify the manufacture date codes to determine if a full set of replacements is required immediately. During the road test, listen closely for any unusual rumbling or rolling resistance that could suggest uneven tyre wear or flat-spotting from prolonged stationary periods. Beyond the tyre notes, the absence of any suspension, braking, or structural corrosion advisories across all recorded tests suggests that the chassis and underpinnings are currently holding up well. Nevertheless, you should still test the braking system thoroughly for straight-line stopping and check that the steering remains neutral without pulling to one side. Take the car over a variety of road surfaces to listen for knocks or rattles from the suspension turrets and wishbones, ensuring that the lower mileage has not left rubber bushes brittle or prone to premature play.
