2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SH14 ACJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 24 June 2026 at 81,505 miles. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of suspension and steering component failure. The June 2026 failure, occurring just one day before the successful retest, highlighted significant wear in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and suspension arm ball joint, alongside corrosion on both front shock absorbers. This follows a similar pattern of suspension wear noted in July 2025 and July 2023. The vehicle has covered 81,505 miles over approximately 12 years, averaging roughly 6,800 miles per year. This represents typical, relatively low annual usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes. The recorded data provides a continuous history that allows for a clear assessment of the vehicle's mechanical degradation over time. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and steering systems. The MOT history reveals a chronic tendency for ball joints, track rod ends, and steering rack inner joints to develop excessive play, with failures noted in 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2026. The recent report of corrosion on the front shock absorbers suggests that structural integrity of mounting components may be a concern. Braking components also require scrutiny. The record shows multiple instances of worn brake discs, thin pads, and fluctuating service brakes, specifically during the October 2022 test. Although these issues appear to have been addressed to achieve subsequent passes, the frequency of these faults suggests that consumable wear is a regular maintenance requirement for this vehicle. Finally, the history of minor oil leaks and exhaust gas leaks since 2021 warrants a check for any persistent seepage or seal degradation.
