2018 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · NG18 VLU

A remarkably stable and unblemished roadworthiness record characterises this Nissan Juke, culminating in a straight pass with zero defects recorded at its most recent test on the fourth of February 2026. Across six consecutive annual examinations dating back to August 2021, the vehicle has never failed an MOT test. This unbroken run of clean passes indicates that the structure and safety-critical systems have consistently met statutory standards without chronic deterioration, though the history does show a single recurring advisory for thinning front brake pads noted during the February 2025 inspection. Accumulating a total of 35,005 miles over its roughly eight-year lifespan translates to an average of approximately 4,376 miles per year, placing this vehicle well below average national mileage for its age. This low-usage profile is evenly distributed across annual test intervals with no extended gaps or periods of prolonged storage recorded in the official DVSA data. Mechanically, such light use means that high-stress drivetrain components and chassis elements have avoided heavy mileage accumulation, though lower annual mileage can occasionally concentrate wear on friction surfaces and peripheral rubber components if journeys are predominantly short and urban. With the front brake pads having been flagged as wearing thin in early 2025 and subsequently passing the inspection in February 2026, a physical inspection of the front friction material and brake discs is still strongly advised before purchase to determine current remaining thickness. On the upcoming test drive, listen carefully for any metallic scraping or squealing from the front wheels under braking, and check for any noticeable judder or steering pull when applying the brake pedal firmly from moderate speeds. Beyond the braking system, the remainder of the mechanical platform requires standard physical checks tailored to this model's known wear points. Inspect the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or cracking, and listen for any dull knocks or clunks when driving over potholes, speed humps, or uneven road surfaces. Additionally, check the engine bay for any fluid misting or oil weeping around the auxiliary components, and ensure the manual or automatic transmission shifts smoothly across all gears without hesitation or clutch slip.
