2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · NA14 KLM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed the test on July 24, 2025 at 124,040 miles, the failure just one day prior highlights several neglected areas. The trend shows a worsening condition in the braking and suspension components, as minor issues noted in 2024 escalated into outright failures by mid-2025. At 124,040 miles over 12 years, the Nissan Juke has averaged approximately 10,300 miles per year, which aligns closely with national averages for a passenger car. The record shows consistent usage, with a 9,346-mile gap between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 8,377 miles covered before the July 2025 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, experiencing wear and tear rather than sitting for long periods. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, specifically the track rod ends. The tester flagged slight play in 2024 which developed into excessive play by July 2025, indicating the steering components are reaching the end of their life. The braking system also requires scrutiny; both pad sets were found below the 1.5mm limit during the most recent failure, and the front discs are pitted and scored. This suggests the owner waits until a component fails a test before replacing it. Further attention should be paid to the corrosion identified on the nearside rear brake pipe. This was noted as being covered in grease, which often masks the extent of the metal decay. The recurring failure of minor items like wipers, washers, and registration lamps indicates a lack of basic pre-test checks. Given the high mileage and the history of mechanical neglect, a physical inspection should verify that the recent repairs were actually completed to a professional standard.
