2016 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · N29 EBC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a decline in suspension maintenance. While the car passed its MOT in February 2026 at 56,857 miles, it failed earlier that same day due to multiple front-end defects. The tester identified an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and a worn suspension arm pin or bush, alongside a slightly distorted nearside front road wheel. This suggests that while the vehicle maintained clean records for several years, the suspension components are now reaching their wear limit. The mileage pattern remains consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 37,426 miles and February 2026 at 56,857 miles, the car covered a steady distance without significant spikes. This low usage rate suggests short-distance commuting. However, low-mileage operation can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and perish seals, which may explain the sudden failure of the ball joint and bushes despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the repairs following the February 2026 failure were carried out correctly. The buyer should check the nearside front road wheel for signs of vibration or uneven tire wear, as distortion can cause tracking issues. Given the offside front suspension arm bush failure, a thorough check of the remaining side arm bushes and ball joints is necessary to determine if the wear is systemic across the front axle.
