2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SC60 CXF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 2nd January 2026, though it did so with a minor defect regarding the nearside front inner drive shaft constant velocity boot. Reviewing the history, the maintenance trend appears somewhat inconsistent. While the vehicle has passed several tests, there is a concerning pattern of deferred maintenance, specifically regarding the CV boot which has been flagged as severely deteriorated for two consecutive years. The significant failure in 2023 involving corroded brake pipes and suspension components suggests a period where preventative maintenance was overlooked, though these specific items were addressed to achieve a pass. With a recorded mileage of 101,177 miles over a fifteen year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,745 miles per year. This usage rate is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a balanced mix of urban and longer distance driving. Mechanically, this mileage puts the car in a phase where major consumables and rubber components are reaching the end of their natural service life. The buyer should expect standard wear on the drivetrain and suspension, but the lack of extreme high mileage means the engine and gearbox should still possess significant remaining life provided the service history is documented. Immediate attention must be paid to the nearside front inner CV boot. Because this has been recorded as severely deteriorated since early 2025 without being rectified, there is a high risk that the joint has been exposed to contaminants. During a test drive, listen for rhythmic clicking or popping sounds during acceleration or when maneuvering at full lock, as these are hallmarks of a failing constant velocity joint. Additionally, the 2023 advisory regarding a corroded oil sump remains a point of concern. A physical inspection of the underside is essential to ensure the sump is not leaking and that the corrosion has not compromised the structural integrity of the engine mounting points. Given the previous failures of brake pipes and track rod ends, the buyer should scrutinize the rest of the chassis for similar corrosion and check the steering for any excessive play or vagueness. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or heavy scoring, as previous advisories indicate a history of surface degradation. Finally, ensure that the service book confirms regular oil and filter changes, as the combination of moderate mileage and noted sump corrosion suggests the vehicle may have been exposed to harsh road salt or damp environments, which can accelerate the degradation of both mechanical components and fluid quality.
