2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · PK13 APU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of suspension-related wear. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 99,760 miles resulted in a failure due to a defective nearside front track rod end ball joint and a blown offside rear position lamp. While the vehicle passed upon immediate rectification, the presence of mechanical play in the steering components suggests that the front-end hardware is beginning to reach the end of its service life. The mileage profile is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. Between January 2024 at 85,883 miles and January 2025 at 93,801 miles, the car covered roughly 6,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage patterns. This consistent interval generally reduces the risk of damage associated with long periods of stationary neglect, though it does not prevent the gradual degradation of rubber bushes and ball joints seen in the recorded history. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the wear. The 2024 record flagged worn front inner suspension arm pins and ball joints on both sides, while the 2026 failure identified a track rod end issue. These entries indicate that the steering and suspension geometry components are deteriorating systematically. It is essential to check for further cracking in the control arm bushes and to ensure the ball joints have been replaced with quality parts to prevent unpredictable handling or further MOT failures.
