2019 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · S1 DVT

The 2019 Nissan Juke has maintained a consistent MOT pass record since its most recent test on 10 April 2026, with no defects recorded at 53,390 miles. While this suggests the vehicle has been kept in compliant condition for its last test cycle, the history reveals a pattern of critical failures in 2024 that were subsequently rectified. The near-front tyre bulge and severely worn ball joint—both structural risks—demonstrate that the vehicle was not without serious issues, though they appear resolved. The absence of defects in the last three tests implies the necessary repairs were made, but the 2024 failures warrant scrutiny of the same components again. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 7,600 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There is a notable gap between the failed test on 4 April 2024 (39,254 miles) and the subsequent pass on 10 April 2024 (39,275 miles), suggesting the repairs were swift but not immediately verified by another test. The 2023 test at 30,773 miles highlights two tyres worn close to the legal limit, a minor but recurring issue that may indicate delayed tyre replacement. This pattern suggests basic maintenance was occasionally overlooked, though the owner responded promptly to critical failures. A buyer should prioritise an immediate inspection of the front suspension components, particularly the ball joints and control arms, as the 2024 failures indicate potential wear or improper replacement. The bulge in the near-front tyre sidewall from 2024 remains a concern—tyre structure integrity should be checked for signs of further degradation, even if the current tyres appear serviceable. The brakes were not flagged in recent tests, but the 2024 failure of the offside front suspension arm suggests the rear suspension should also be examined for consistent wear, especially the bushes and coil springs. Structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and suspension mounts, should be assessed, as this is a common issue for Juke models exposed to UK conditions.
