2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · NJ13 NUB

The vehicle currently holds a technically roadworthy status but shows a history of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the car passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 127,074 miles, the record reveals a pattern of deferred mechanical and safety repairs. The trend is concerning as critical failures such as leaking power steering pipes, worn track rod ends, and fractured coil springs were only addressed after a major 2024 failure, suggesting that components are replaced only once they reach a point of near-catastrophe. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,775 miles per year. There was a significant period of use involving 30,000 miles between April 2023 (96,841 miles) and July 2025 (127,074 miles). This rapid accumulation of mileage correlates with the surge in mechanical failures noted in July 2024, where the vehicle failed at 116,515 miles due to multiple defects across the steering, suspension, and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows recurring issues with corroded brake pipes and discs, with the 2025 test noting the parking brake efficiency was just meeting the legal threshold. There is also documented wear on the offside front suspension arm bushes and a persistent rust on the rear axle, which has been flagged in both 2024 and 2025. Structural integrity of the chassis should be monitored for advancing corrosion. Safety equipment also requires close attention. Frayed seat belt webbing on both front seats has appeared in every test since 2024, indicating a long-term neglect of interior safety components. The 2025 advisory also noted a brake lever with slight reserve travel, which may indicate internal adjuster wear or thinning lining material. Given the history of leaking steering hoses and worn track rod ends, a professional mechanical check is essential to ensure the repairs made following the 2024 failure were comprehensive.
