2012 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · RV12 DLN

The vehicle's maintenance trend shows a recent decline in mechanical condition, moving from a clean record to multiple significant advisories and a failure in the most recent testing period. While the October 2025 test resulted in a pass, the inspector flagged several issues that suggest the vehicle is entering a phase of accelerated wear. The presence of multiple brake pipe corrosion advisories and a worn front brake disc indicates that the braking system requires close monitoring. The vehicle has covered 84,356 miles over its 14-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,025 miles per year. This low annual mileage is consistent with light use, yet the MOT history reveals that even lower usage has not prevented the onset of corrosion and component degradation. The mileage increments between tests remain steady, with the jump from 79,596 miles in September 2024 to 84,356 miles in October 2025 representing roughly 4,760 miles of driving. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside to assess the extent of the corrosion reported. The October 2025 record specifically noted a deformed but serviceable rear axle and multiple corroded brake pipes. These issues, combined with the previous failure in September 2023 regarding worn suspension arm ball joints and bushes, suggest that the vehicle's chassis and suspension components are susceptible to environmental degradation. The braking system also warrants immediate attention. The tester identified thin rear brake pads and a pitted front brake disc during the October 2025 test, following a failure earlier that same month due to a major exhaust leak. Although the exhaust leak appears to have been addressed to secure the pass, the recurring issues with brake pipes and pads indicate that the owner may be reactive rather than proactive with maintenance. Verify that all brake pipe corrosion has been professionally treated and that the rear axle deformation remains within safe limits.
