2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SC63 XOA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding steering component integrity. The most recent test in March 2026 at 51,671 miles resulted in a failure due to excessive play in the offside track rod end ball joint. While this was rectified to pass the re-test, it represents a progression from the slight play noted during the February 2025 inspection at 47,420 miles. This indicates that the steering assembly is reaching the end of its functional life cycle. The mileage profile is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, with only 4,251 miles covered between February 2025 and March 2026. While low annual mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake corrosion if the vehicle sits. The clean record from February 2024 suggests the vehicle was not subjected to significant stress during that period. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the track rod end repair addressed the issue fully. The tester previously flagged fluctuating service brakes on both the nearside and offside front in early 2025, which often indicates thin or warped brake discs. These should be checked for uneven wear or pedal judder during a test drive. Given the low mileage, also inspect for rust on the brake calipers and cracking in the suspension bushes, as these are common failure points on vehicles that are used infrequently.
