2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Diesel · SH12 SOC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 150,322 miles, which returned no defects. This follows a period of escalating maintenance requirements between 2022 and 2025. The record shows a clear trend of addressing recurring corrosion and wear issues, moving from multiple brake pipe advisories in 2022 and 2023 to a clean certificate in the latest inspection. This suggests that the previous owner has been proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to persist. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per year. The data shows steady usage without significant periods of inactivity or sudden spikes in distance. Between the 2021 test at 85,421 miles and the 2022 test at 103,304 miles, the vehicle covered nearly 18,000 miles, indicating a period of higher utilization. The current mileage of 150,322 is typical for a 2012 model and does not suggest unusual mechanical strain or long-term storage. A prospective buyer should focus on the braking system and chassis integrity. The MOT history shows a persistent pattern of brake pipe corrosion, specifically affecting the nearside rear and offside rear pipes in 2022, 2023, and 2025. While the 2026 test was clear, a physical inspection of the brake lines and connections is necessary to ensure the corrosion has been fully remediated and not merely cleaned or masked. The 2025 advisory regarding worn tyres also indicates that consumable management has occasionally lapsed. Suspension components also warrant close attention. The record flags various issues over the years, including track rod end play in 2020 and suspension arm bush wear in 2019 and 2021. Although these appear to have been addressed, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the vehicle has encountered significant road surfaces or high-frequency usage. Verifying the current condition of the steering linkage and suspension bushes during a test drive would be a prudent step to ensure no new play has developed.
