2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · PJ64 LBV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive repairs. The latest test in July 2025 at 69,065 miles resulted in an advisory for an offside track rod end ball joint with slight play. This follows a significant failure in July 2024 where both front lower suspension arm ball joints were flagged for excessive wear. While the vehicle was repaired to pass the subsequent test, the appearance of a new steering fault suggests that the front suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,755 miles per year. The record shows consistent usage, with 6,682 miles covered between the July 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 7,766 miles prior. This low mileage generally indicates less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based components and seals due to age and inactivity. The data intervals are regular, suggesting the car has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods between annual inspections. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension geometry to ensure the previously failed ball joints were replaced with high-quality parts. The advisory on the offside track rod end requires immediate attention, as play in this component will eventually lead to steering instability and a total mechanical failure. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory regarding rear tyres worn to the legal limit and on the edge suggests a previous alignment issue that should be verified against current tyre wear. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for perished rubber bushes and structural corrosion on the chassis is essential, as these elements degrade over time regardless of the mileage driven.
