2015 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · P1 MYH

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and steering components. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 66,724 miles passed, the tester flagged multiple advisories for play in the track rod ends and suspension arm ball joints. This represents a progression from the 2024 test, where only the front track rod end and one arm ball joint were noted, suggesting that the front suspension assembly is reaching the end of its functional life and requires proactive attention-replacement. At 66,724 miles, the Juke has averaged approximately 6,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage for its age. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 4,800 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests. However, the low annual mileage has not prevented the degradation of rubber-based components, evidenced by the 2023 advisories for cracking and perishing tyres, which often results from vehicles sitting stationary for long periods rather than high-mile driving. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The recurring failures of ball joints and track rod ends indicate that the steering linkage is developing play which will soon require replacement. Furthermore, the 2025 advisory regarding pitted and scored rear brake discs suggests the braking system has suffered from corrosion, likely due to the low-frequency use noted. Given the history of tyres reaching the legal limit across multiple years, a full tread depth and sidew check is necessary to ensure no immediate expenditure is required upon purchase.
