2014 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SH14 ACX

The vehicle's maintenance trend shows signs of worsening as it enters higher mileage brackets. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 89,660 miles introduced multiple advisories that suggest a decline in routine upkeep. The tester flagged inoperative registration plate lamps, two front tyres worn close to the legal limit, and a braking system that only just met requirements, indicating a need for adjustment or repair. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,472 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 4,667 miles in 2016 to the current 89,660 miles. A significant jump occurred between February 2022 and February 2023, where the mileage increased by over 13,000 miles in a single year, though the overall pattern remains predictable. The absence of long periods of inactivity is evidenced by the regular annual testing intervals. The mechanical history reveals specific areas of concern regarding the suspension and braking systems. In February 2025 at 84,936 miles, the vehicle failed due to an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm ball joint and an offside track rod end ball joint with excessive play. Although these were rectified for the subsequent pass, the February 2026 advisory regarding service brake requirements suggests the braking system may be nearing a stage where components like calipers or discs require attention. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension components to ensure the previous ball joint and track rod end issues have been fully resolved. The advisory regarding the braking system warrants a close examination of brake pad thickness, disc condition, and potential binding. Given the February 2024 advisory concerning a corroded exhaust system, checking the structural integrity of the exhaust manifold and tailpipe for significant rust is also advisable.
