2014 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · RF64 KNL

The 2014 Nissan Juke holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 12 June 2026 at 74,146 miles, though the pass was not without notable advisories. The tester flagged rear brake pads wearing thin, a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on its edge, and an offside front suspension arm pin or bush worn but not yet resulting in excessive movement. Against the broader history, the maintenance trend is mixed. A clean pass with zero defects on 30 May 2023 at 60,438 miles and again on 18 June 2025 at 90,701 miles suggests long stretches of adequate upkeep. Yet the record also contains a failure on 18 June 2025 at 69,094 miles for excessive play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint, a critical steering component. The same day shows a separate pass at 90,701 miles, indicating the failure was likely from an earlier test subsequently rectified. Tyre wear advisories appearing in both the 2024 and 2026 tests point to a recurring issue, possibly reflecting alignment wear or driving habits rather than a one-off event. The mileage pattern raises a question worth clarifying before purchase. The vehicle recorded 64,665 miles in May 2024, then 69,094 miles by June 2025, a gain of 4,429 miles in roughly thirteen months. By the June 2025 pass at 90,701 miles, the car had covered 21,607 miles in the space of that single month, which is physically implausible and strongly suggests a data entry anomaly or a mileage correction following a previous error. The current reading of 74,146 miles in June 2026 sits below the 90,701 figure from twelve months prior, further supporting the likelihood of a corrected or erroneous entry in the 2025 record. A buyer should verify the true mileage against service invoices, the V5C logbook, and any digital service records before relying on the MOT data alone. From a mechanical standpoint, the repeated suspension and steering advisories deserve close attention. The worn offside front suspension arm bush noted in the latest test is a common wear item on the Juke's front suspension, but left unaddressed it can accelerate tyre wear and affect handling precision. The earlier track rod end failure confirms the steering linkage has already required attention, so checking for uneven tyre wear, clunking over bumps, and vague steering response during a test drive is essential. The recurring tyre wear advisories, particularly the nearside front edge wear seen in both 2024 and 2026, suggest possible tracking misalignment or a suspension geometry issue that has not been permanently resolved. Rear brake pads wearing thin at the latest test is consumable wear, but combined with the suspension history it indicates the car has had periods of deferred minor maintenance. A prospective buyer should arrange an independent inspection focusing on the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and track rod ends, along with a four-wheel alignment check. Inspect the subframe and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as the Juke's platform is susceptible to surface rust in these areas that can compromise structural integrity over time. Verify the mileage trail through service records to reconcile the anomalous 2025 entries. The vehicle is roadworthy on paper, but the pattern of recurring advisories and the mileage discrepancy mean due diligence is necessary before committing to purchase.
