2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · NU14 LPF

The 2014 Nissan Juke holds a valid MOT pass certificate dated 31 March 2026, issued at 47,286 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but reveals a persistent, unresolved wear pattern. The most recent test required a retest on the same day for headlamp aim, which was corrected. However, the tester flagged worn lower suspension arm pins or bushes on both front corners, a recurring advisory that has appeared in every single test since at least April 2023. While these components have not yet resulted in excessive movement, their repeated flagging over three consecutive years indicates gradual, ongoing deterioration that will eventually require replacement. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The recorded 47,286 miles equate to roughly 3,940 miles per year. The annual increments between tests are consistent: approximately 3,041 miles between April 2023 and April 2024, 3,041 miles between April 2024 and March 2025, and 3,046 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, suggesting steady, light use rather than long periods of inactivity or clocking anomalies. The MOT history itself is complete and unbroken from 2023 onward, with no missing annual tests. The front suspension demands the closest attention. Worn lower suspension arm bushes or pin joints have been noted at every test since April 2023, progressing from a simple advisory to a repeated observation across both nearside and offside. A physical inspection should check for play in the front lower arms, uneven tyre wear on the inner edges, and any clunking over bumps. The 2024 test also flagged a very corroded rear exhaust box, which may have since been replaced but warrants an underbody check for exhaust integrity and structural rust around the mounting points. The 2025 test recorded an advisory for offside front service brake fluctuation and binding, suggesting a sticking caliper or uneven disc wear. A road test should confirm the vehicle tracks straight under braking and the handbrake holds firm on a gradient. Buyers should also verify the condition of the nearside front tyre, which was noted as worn close to the legal limit in April 2024, and confirm that both headlamp aim units remain correctly set following the March 2026 rectification. The overall record points to a lightly used vehicle with no major structural or safety-critical failures, but one where routine suspension and braking consumables have been monitored rather than proactively replaced. Budgeting for front lower arm bush or complete arm replacement within the near term would be prudent.
