Our Verdict
This Nissan Juke represents a relatively stable purchase option based on its recent MOT history. While it has experienced two failures, the lack of recorded defects at the time of failure suggests these were likely minor items that were rectified immediately.
When inspecting this 1.6L petrol Juke, focus on the mechanical components that frequently appear in model-wide aggregate data, such as the suspension arms and braking system. Given that the vehicle has covered nearly 90,000 miles, check for any signs of uneven tyre wear or play in the steering components.
Since the MOT history shows two failures (in February 2024 and August 2025) where no specific defects were listed in the summary, you should ask the seller for the specific details of those failures. Confirming whether these were simple bulb changes, wiper issues, or more significant mechanical repairs will provide better clarity on the car's upkeep.
As a 1598cc petrol engine, running costs will be moderate. You should check the specific tax band for this 2012 registration, as it will influence the annual fixed cost. Insurance groups for the Juke vary, so obtaining a quote based on the MT12LDN registration is essential.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve regular attention to tyres and brakes, which are noted as common failure points for the Juke across the wider dataset. Expect annual running costs to be influenced by the higher-than-average mileage this vehicle has accumulated.
Based on the aggregate data for the Nissan Juke, pay close attention to the suspension arms and the condition of the brake pads. These are identified as top failure reasons for this model across 280,082 analysed vehicles.
Additionally, inspect the tyres for tread depth and even wear, as tyres are a frequent MOT failure point for this model. While the recent MOTs for this specific red Juke show no defects, a physical check of the suspension bushings and brake discs is advised due to the vehicle's mileage level.
This 2012 red Nissan Juke, powered by a 1.6L petrol engine, has covered 89,963 miles as of its last MOT in August 2025. The vehicle's history shows a consistent testing pattern, with passing results in both 2024 and 2025. Compared to the model average of 6,738 miles per year, this specific vehicle has been driven significantly more than the typical example of this age.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 78.1%, with common issues relating to suspension, brakes, and tyres.
