2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · PF61 FCJ

This Nissan Juke’s MOT history demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past five years, with the most recent test—conducted on 15 May 2025 at 95,058 miles—resulting in a clean pass with no defects. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pattern of annual testing without failings since 2022, suggesting it has either been well-maintained or that critical components have not yet reached their typical failure thresholds for this age. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in the record implies no obvious pattern of neglect, though the 2023 failure (23 May, 85,058 miles) stands out as an anomaly—its lack of recorded defects is unusual, as even minor failings are typically logged. The most recent test was conducted just over 15 months ago, which is within the DVSA’s recommended interval for high-mileage vehicles, though it now exceeds the 12-month window for a vehicle approaching 105,000 miles. The recorded mileage of 105,058 miles over approximately 15 years equates to an average of around 7,000 miles annually, a rate that aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing that would suggest prolonged disuse, nor are there abrupt spikes in mileage between tests to indicate aggressive driving. The most notable observation is the 2023 failure, which occurred just one day before the subsequent pass—this could imply a temporary oversight in scheduling rather than a mechanical issue. The lack of mileage data between tests makes it impossible to determine if maintenance intervals were strictly followed, but the consistent pass rates suggest no catastrophic wear has been overlooked. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear subframe and bushings, which are common failure points on this model at this mileage. The absence of recorded brake-related failings does not preclude wear—binding calipers, uneven pad thickness, or corrosion on the rear discs should be checked, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted roads. The exhaust system, while not failed, warrants examination for leaks or excessive rust, particularly around the catalytic converter and downpipes, given the vehicle’s age. Finally, the interior and underbody should be scrutinised for signs of water ingress or structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, as these are critical to the vehicle’s long-term integrity. The 2023 failure’s lack of details makes it impossible to rule out minor but recurring issues, so attention to detail in these areas is essential.
