2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · R28 DBR

The Nissan Juke’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-03 passed without defects, confirming it remains roadworthy at the time of inspection. However, the immediate preceding test on 2025-07-02 failed—unusually, without any recorded defects or advisories—suggesting either a procedural oversight or a rare administrative anomaly. The last three annual tests (2024-06-25, 2023-06-30, and a duplicate failed entry for the same date) show no recurring mechanical issues, indicating a stable maintenance pattern over the past three years. That said, the double entry for June 2023 hints at potential irregularities in the vehicle’s history, warranting closer scrutiny of service records beyond the MOT data. The recorded mileage of 77,079 miles over approximately 14 years—roughly 5,500 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either limited use or prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no visible gaps in MOT testing beyond the expected annual cycle, but the low mileage implies wear on non-mileage-dependent components, such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and corrosion-prone areas, may have progressed more slowly. Conversely, if the car has been stored for extended periods, fluid degradation (brakes, power steering, transmission) could be a hidden concern. Given the lack of recorded defects in recent tests, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—for excessive wear or dry rot, as these are common failure points in low-mileage but aged vehicles. The brakes, while not flagged in MOTs, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should be examined for corrosion, as rust can compromise the chassis even at low mileages. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system and catalytic converter, as emissions-related failures are often silent until they become severe.
