2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · OE13 PBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension and drivetrain-related wear. The most recent test in July 2025 at 120,574 miles identified significant mechanical defects, specifically a corroded offside front coil spring and a severely deteriorated inner drive shaft joint constant velocity boot. While the vehicle passed this test, these faults follow a history of failures related to steering and suspension ball joints and track rod ends, suggesting that components are being replaced upon failure rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 120,574 miles over 13 years, the Juke has averaged approximately 9,275 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK averages for a petrol car. The record shows consistent mileage accumulation, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 17,000 miles in the preceding year. This steady usage suggests regular operation, which explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and suspension hardware across the chassis. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to assess the extent of corrosion. Given the tester flagged a corroded coil spring in 2025 and previous ball joint issues in 2022, the entire front offside assembly should be checked for further play or structural thinning. The inner CV boot requires immediate visual inspection for grease leakage, as a severely deteriorated boot will quickly lead to premature drive joint failure. Additionally, ensure the track rod ends and steering arms are free of excessive play, as these have proven to be points of failure for this specific vehicle.
