2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · RE12 AXG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 43,353 miles secured a pass, the recurring advisories for thin front brake pads and worn offside front tyres show these issues have persisted across multiple years. The mechanical trend is stable in its neglect, suggesting that the previous owner only addresses components once they approach a failure point or a legal limit. At 14 years old, the recorded 43,353 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. The usage pattern shows long intervals between tests, such as the 1,086-mile gap between May 2024 and June 2025. Such low-mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than mechanical wear. This likely explains the premature failure of the suspension ball joint noted in 2024 despite the low overall mileage on the vehicle. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The failure of the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint in May 2024 at 42,262 miles indicates that rubber bushings may be perished due to age rather than distance. The recurring uneven wear on the offside front tyre in both 2024 and 2025 suggests a persistent alignment issue or a worn steering component that was never properly rectified. Attention should also be paid to the interior, as the nearside rear seat belt webbing flagged in 2022 remains a safety concern if not previously replaced. Given the low mileage, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently occurs on vehicles that sit for long periods. The consistent report of thin brake pads implies the current set is likely near the end of its life and will require immediate replacement upon purchase.
