2017 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · MP03 ABP

The most recent MOT on 24 November 2025 was passed with no recorded defects, and the preceding three years of testing also resulted in passes. The only advisory noted was in 2022 for the nearside front tyre being close to the legal tread limit. This pattern indicates a generally stable maintenance record with no recurring failures; the single advisory suggests the tyre was addressed and has not re‑appeared, pointing to an overall improving trend in roadworthiness. With a recorded 47,133 miles on a 2017 model, the vehicle averages roughly 5,200 miles per annum, which is well below the typical UK average for a car of its age. Such low annual mileage often reflects either light, primarily urban use or extended periods of inactivity. Light use reduces wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch, and suspension components, but prolonged standing can accelerate rubber perishing, battery sulphation, and corrosion of metal parts, especially where moisture has been trapped. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the current condition of the front left tyre and all four tyres in general. Verify the tyre DOT code to confirm the manufacture date; tyres older than six years can become brittle even if tread depth appears acceptable. Inspect the sidewalls for cracking, bulging, or dry‑rot, and listen for any thumping or vibration during a short test‑drive that could indicate uneven wear or internal damage. Examine the suspension bushings, ball joints and coil springs for signs of cracking, looseness or excessive play, as rubber components can deteriorate when a vehicle sits for long periods. Check the brake discs for surface rust, scoring or glazing, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding; a slight pulsation in the pedal or a shudder when applying the brakes would merit further investigation. Given the vehicle’s age, the 12‑volt battery should be tested for cranking amperage and checked for any signs of electrolyte leakage or terminal corrosion. Time‑based fluids—engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid—should be inspected for colour change, moisture contamination or particulate matter, and replaced if service records do not show a recent change, typically every 12‑24 months for oil and every two years for brake fluid. Finally, conduct a visual under‑body inspection for rust on the chassis, exhaust hangers and suspension mounting points, and confirm that the service book contains regular oil changes and any manufacturer‑recommended interim service at approximately 30,000 miles, which would support the vehicle’s overall mechanical health.
