2017 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · SE17 RTV

The Nissan Juke presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record over its recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 10 April 2026 at 55,828 miles passing without any defects. This consistency extends back to the 2022 test, where the vehicle also cleared with no advisories or failures, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural issues. The absence of defects in every recorded MOT—including the 2023 test at 29,929 miles—suggests the car has been well maintained in critical areas, with no signs of neglect or progressive wear in core systems. The latest test, just three months ago, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current DVSA standards, though a thorough pre-purchase inspection would still be prudent to verify any non-MOT-related wear. The mileage accumulation reflects typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 6,200 miles per year over the past nine years. There are no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might indicate abuse or disuse; the mileage progression is steady, with the largest annual increment (6,746 miles) occurring between the 2023 and 2024 tests. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests—where mileage increased by just 1,556 miles over nearly 14 months—could imply a period of lighter use, but this does not raise concerns about mechanical disrepair. Overall, the mileage pattern aligns with expectations for a privately owned car, neither excessively high nor suspiciously low. Given the absence of defects in the MOT history, a buyer should still prioritise a visual and hands-on inspection of key wear points that aren’t routinely checked under the MOT. Pay particular attention to the suspension components, including the condition of the control arm bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links, as these are prone to fatigue even without failing an MOT. The brake system should be scrutinised for uneven wear on the discs and pads, as well as any signs of binding or excessive play in the calipers, especially since the last test was three months ago. Structural integrity is less of a concern given the clean history, but check for any signs of corrosion in the wheel arches, sills, or underbody, particularly in regions prone to salt exposure. Finally, verify the condition of the tyres beyond the legal tread depth, as the MOT does not assess sidewall cracking or uneven wear patterns, which could indicate alignment or balancing issues.
