2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · PE13 OEC

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift towards worsening wear and component fatigue. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 90,791 miles secured a pass, it revealed multiple advisories that indicate deferred maintenance is beginning to accumulate. The transition from clean records in 2022 and 2023 to a series of failures and advisories in 2025 suggests the vehicle is reaching a stage where age-related components require proactive replacement. At 90,791 miles over thirteen years, the Juke averages approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-average usage. The data shows a significant gap in testing between December 2023 and January 2025, where the car covered roughly 7,400 miles in a year, followed by a more rapid burst of 3,000 miles in the few months leading up to the 2025 failure. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have experienced periods of standing, which often contributes to the degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the record shows recurring issues with wishbone bushes, track rod ends, and coil springs. The 2025 failure for a fractured offside coil spring and excessive play in the track rod end, followed by 2026 advis for worn bushes on both sides, indicates the front end geometry is nearing instability. The presence of oil leaks on both the nearside and offside front in the latest test requires a close look to determine if these are minor weeping or escalating leaks. The braking system also requires attention due to reported corrosion on the nearside rear brake pipe and worn rear discs noted in January 2026. Because the tester noted the pipe was covered in grease, the true extent of the metal decay may be hidden. Given the history of perished bushes and corroded shock absorbers, the buyer should check for structural rust and the thinning of the brake lines to ensure the vehicle is not deteriorating beyond simple repair.
