2017 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · PK67 LWD

A history of intermittent mechanical issues and component wear defines this vehicle, though the most recent test on 29 September 2025 shows a pass with no recorded defects. The record fluctuates between clean results and specific failures, such as the dangerous failure in September 2020 regarding brake pad thickness and the 2023 failure involving ineffective windscreen wipers. While the recent pass suggests a period of stability, the presence of previous advisories concerning engine noise, leaking washer bottles, and tyre degradation indicates a pattern of addressing wear-and-tear items as they arise rather than a continuous absence of defects. The recorded mileage of 64,433 miles over approximately nine years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 7,159 miles. This usage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-moderate driving, which generally implies that components like the drivetrain and suspension have not been subjected to the high-frequency stress of long-distance motorway commuting. However, the relatively low annual mileage can sometimes correlate with the types of issues seen in the history, such as the perishing sidewall noted in the 2024 advisory, as vehicles that undergo fewer miles may sit stationary for longer periods. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the engine and fluid systems during a physical inspection. The 2023 advisory for engine noise and the 2020 advisory for a non-excessive oil leak necessitate a thorough check under the bonnet and during operation. On a test drive, listen for any irregular knocking, tapping, or rhythmic clicking sounds from the engine bay that could indicate valve or belt issues. Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any fresh signs of weeping or staining around gaskets and seals to ensure the previously noted oil leak has been rectified or remains within a non-critical threshold. Further scrutiny is required regarding the vehicle's consumables and peripheral systems. Given the 2024 advisory for a damaged or perishing nearside rear tyre sidewall and earlier notes on worn front tyres, the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres must be verified, looking specifically for sidewall cracking or uneven wear patterns. The washer system should also be tested to ensure the previously flagged leaking washer bottle has been replaced or sealed, as a failure here can quickly lead to poor visibility. Finally, confirm that the windscreen wipers operate smoothly and clear the glass without streaking to ensure the 2023 failure point has been fully resolved.
