2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · SE14 VST

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test on 25 May 2026 at 84,740 miles passed, it followed a failure just days prior that highlighted multiple mechanical and safety defects. The trend is unstable, as critical issues with the braking system and suspension appear repeatedly across several years, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults when forced to by the MOT tester rather than during routine service intervals. At 84,740 miles, this 12-year-old Juke has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. However, the mileage accumulation between June 2024 (67,303 miles) and June 2025 (79,598 miles) shows over 12,000 miles in a single year, followed by a drop in usage in the subsequent period. This inconsistent usage often correlates with the uneven wear observed on mechanical components like the ball joints and brake pads recorded in the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record shows recurring issues with brake pipe corrosion, specifically excessive corrosion and pitting on the nearside rear line noted between 2025 and 2026. The front suspension has demonstrated a history of failure, with suspension arm bushes, ball joints, and track rod ends flagged for excessive wear or play in 2024 and still appearing in May 2026. The buyer should verify that the recent repairs to the offside front brake pads and parking brake adjustment were executed correctly, as previous failures indicated a significant lack of basic brake maintenance.
