2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · NA14 XHR

The 2014 Nissan Juke presents a concerning maintenance history with a clear pattern of initial annual test failures driven by neglected upkeep, though the most recent test on November 26, 2025 at 77,667 miles resulted in a pass. The vehicle shows a recurring trend of failing its initial MOT inspection before remedial work is undertaken to secure a pass a few days later. This routine pattern points to reactive rather than preventative maintenance by previous keepers, who consistently let consumable items and corrosion issues deteriorate until forced to address them by the tester. Analyzing the chronological mileage accumulation reveals steady, entirely normal usage averaging around 6,472 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan, with no alarming spikes or prolonged periods of standing. The odometer progressed predictably from 38,707 miles in March 2018 to 77,667 miles by late 2025, demonstrating consistent mechanical operation. However, this regular deployment has taken a predictable toll on the chassis and running gear, as evidenced by the dense cluster of repeat failures logged every November between 2019 and 2025. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, steering components, and front suspension. The MOT history highlights persistent corrosion on the nearside and offside front Macpherson struts, recurring brake pipe and hose degradation including ferrules with slight corrosion, and a history of binding rear brakes paired with worn pads noted at the 2025 test. Furthermore, steering joints require close scrutiny given that track rod ends showed excessive play in both 2022 and 2025, while past advisories and failures noted front lower suspension arm bushes and steering rack play. Verifying that the engine malfunction indicator light stays off and confirming the structural integrity of the sills, which now feature fitted covers masking underlying areas, will be critical before purchase.
