2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · ND64 LMJ

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT on 3 March 2026 at 83,403 miles indicates a recurring issue with tyre wear. While the car passed this test, the tester flagged the nearside front inner tyre as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on an edge. This follows a clean pass in March 2025 at 73,519 miles, suggesting that while major mechanical failures are not currently a trend, consumable maintenance is becoming more frequent. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,950 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 15,384 miles in December 2017 to the current 83,403 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which is positive for preventing seized components or perished rubber seals. The data shows a predictable pattern of use that aligns with typical domestic driving habits. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking systems. The December 2022 failure at 55,665 miles highlighted significant issues, including excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm ball joints and seriously weakened rear brake discs. Although these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the recurrence of tyre edge wear in the 2026 test may point to underlying alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that could affect handling. The history also shows a previous failure in December 2020 due to structural tyre bulges, which indicates a risk of impact damage or poor tyre management in the past. During a physical inspection, I recommend checking the condition of the rear brake assembly and verifying that the suspension geometry is correct to prevent premature tyre degradation. Ensuring the recent nearside front tyre advisory has been addressed with a new tyre and a wheel alignment check is also advisable.
