2010 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SD10 DMD

A steady transition from typical consumable wear to an entirely clean testing record defines the mechanical profile of this Nissan Juke, which secured its third consecutive defect-free pass on 9 January 2026. Between 2021 and 2023, the vehicle regularly presented with advisories for degraded tyres and worn braking components, but these issues have since been resolved, leaving no outstanding defects on the official record. This shift from recurring wear-and-tear advisories to a series of completely clean passes indicates that the previously flagged components were addressed, presenting a stable roadworthiness trend heading into the current year. With 65,607 miles recorded over approximately sixteen years, the vehicle has accumulated an average of just 4,100 miles per year, which is significantly below the UK national average. This low-utilisation pattern is punctuated by a minor scheduling shift around 2020, though testing remained largely consistent. Mechanically, such low annual mileage often points to a service life dominated by short, urban journeys or extended periods of standing. While this keeps the overall mechanical wear on major drivetrain components low, it increases the likelihood of components aging through time rather than mileage, as evidenced by the historical advisories for perished rubber and surface corrosion on the braking surfaces. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the areas previously flagged for degradation, specifically the braking system and tyres. Although the vehicle passed its 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests without advisories, the 2023 advisory noted that the rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored on both sides, while the 2022 test highlighted thin front brake pads. During a test drive, it is essential to feel for any pedal pulsation or judder under braking, which would indicate warped or unevenly worn discs, and to listen for any grinding or squealing noises from either axle. Additionally, because the front tyres were previously noted as worn on their edges, the steering should be checked for any pulling to one side, which could point to tracking or wheel alignment issues that require correction. Given the historical advisories from 2021 and 2022 regarding tyres that were perished, cracked, and worn close to the legal limit, a close visual inspection of all four tyres is highly recommended to verify their current age and condition. Look closely at the sidewalls and tread grooves for signs of dry rot or cracking, which can occur when a vehicle stands idle for long periods. It is also prudent to inspect the underside of the vehicle, particularly the suspension bushes and coil springs, as rubber suspension components on a sixteen-year-old vehicle are susceptible to hardening and splitting over time, which can manifest as knocking or clunking sounds when driving over uneven road surfaces.
