2020 Nissan Juke Tekna DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · RO70 XLM

A recurring issue with the offside front tyre and windscreen wiper functionality defines the roadworthiness profile of this 2020 Nissan Juke. While the vehicle passed its most recent test on 3 August 2026, the advisory regarding the offside front tyre sidewall damage echoes a previous major failure recorded just one day earlier on 7 August 2025, where the same tyre exhibited a cut exceeding ply/cord requirements and the wiper system failed to clear the glass effectively. With a recorded mileage of 19,047 miles over approximately six years, the vehicle demonstrates a usage pattern of roughly 3,174 miles per year, indicating light or infrequent operation. This low annual accumulation suggests that mechanical components such as the drivetrain, suspension linkages, and brake pads may retain original specification, though prolonged periods of inactivity can accelerate the degradation of rubber components, seals, and battery health if the vehicle was not driven regularly. On a test drive, verify the structural integrity of the offside front tyre by inspecting the sidewall for bulges or cuts that compromise the ply or cords, as the advisory indicates a susceptibility to damage. Additionally, test the windscreen wiper operation across the entire glass area to ensure the blades clear the screen without leaving streaks or skipping, particularly in wet conditions, as the previous failure highlighted a failure to clear the windscreen effectively. Pay close attention to the rear braking system, which was flagged in the August 2025 test as having worn, pitted, or scored brake discs. Listen for any grinding or squealing noises when applying the brakes and feel for any pulsation in the brake pedal, which could indicate uneven wear or heat distortion on the rear discs.
