2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · ND14 BKA

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance profile characterized by a trend of significant mechanical neglect followed by reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 98,568 miles, this followed a catastrophic failure just eleven days prior. That failure revealed a multitude of critical safety defects, including a steering rack with excessive free play, fractured rear coil springs, and failing suspension arm ball joints. The transition from a multi-point failure to a pass suggests the owner addressed only the absolute minimum required to legalise the vehicle rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 98,568 miles over 12 years, the Nissan Juke averages approximately 8,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. However, the data shows a recent spike in activity and mechanical stress. Between November 2023 and December 2025, the vehicle covered over 16,000 miles, a period during which the suspension and braking components deteriorated rapidly. The concentration of faults in the final two tests indicates that the vehicle has likely been driven to the limit of its component lives without consistent service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front end and braking system. The record shows recurring issues with the front track rod ends and suspension ball joints, which should be checked for remaining play or uneven wear to ensure the recent repairs were comprehensive. The persistent mention of pitted and scored front brake discs across every test since 2024 suggests these have never been replaced despite warnings, which can lead to poor braking performance or caliper binding. Furthermore, verify the functionality of the electronic systems, as the ABS and electronic stability control lamps were previously flagged as faulty, indicating potential sensor or wiring issues that may recur.
