2012 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · SB12 VLO

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile characterized by a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the most recent MOT test in December 2025 at 136,045 miles passed, it followed a period of repeated failures where critical safety components were only addressed after failing inspection. The trend for mechanical neglect is evident, with worn brake components and seat belt failures appearing as recurring issues across multiple testing years. This suggests the previous owner performed only the minimum work required to pass the legal test rather than following scheduled mechanical intervals. At 136,045 miles, the Nissan Juke has averaged approximately 9,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 3,600 miles covered between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 3,117 miles between late 2024 and late 2025. This steady mileage accumulation explains the consistent wear observed on consumables such as brake pads and suspension rubber components noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, specifically the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage, which has been flagged with play since at least 2023. The braking system requires significant scrutiny as the record indicates fluctuating pedals, pitted offside front discs, and pads that reached the legal limit multiple times. The recurring perishing of the offside rear tyre suggests that age-related rubber degradation is being ignored until it becomes a MOT failure point. Furthermore, the history of an inoperative engine management system light and electronic stability control faults in 2024 necessitates a professional diagnostic scan to ensure no underlying electrical or sensor faults remain.
