2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · RA11 HCC

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history reveals a worsening trend in mechanical neglect. While it passed the most recent test in March 2026 at 130,607 miles, it failed just three days prior with a high volume of defects. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple failures in 2025 and 2026 suggests that the owner is now only performing the minimum repairs required to pass testing rather than conducting proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 10,195 miles, followed by another 9,702 miles in the year leading to the March 2026 test. This steady usage indicates the car is driven regularly, which accelerates wear on rubber and metal components, as evidenced by the recurring failures related to ball joints, boots, and tyres. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and drivetrain, as the record shows a history of failing components. The offside front ball joint and the nearside front inner CV boot were flagged for deterioration and play, indicating the rubber seals and joints are failing. The presence of a corroded rear brake pipe covered in grease is a significant concern, as grease often masks active leaks or advanced corrosion that could lead to hydraulic failure if ignored. The braking system and tyres also require close attention. The tester noted thin offside rear brake pads in March 2026, while the nearside rear tyre showed signs of perishing and uneven edge wear. Given the previous failure for a fractured rear coil spring and multiple ball joints, the buyer should verify the integrity of the entire suspension assembly and ensure that the recent repairs have addressed the underlying issues rather than just replacing individual components.
