2011 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · SH61 MUY

Chronic corrosion of the braking system and recurring wear on steering components characterize this vehicle's history. While it achieved a pass on 2026-05-01, this followed a failure for a non-functional offside front dipped beam and leaves an active advisory for corrosion to the central rear upper brake hose ferrule. The record shows a persistent pattern of brake pipe and hose degradation, with major failures for corroded rear brake pipes in 2022 and 2024, indicating a systemic vulnerability to rust within the braking circuit. The recorded mileage of 92,437 miles is typical for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,162 miles per year. This level of usage suggests a standard rate of wear for the drivetrain and engine components. However, the frequency of corrosion-related failures despite the moderate mileage suggests the vehicle has been exposed to environments that accelerate the oxidation of metal components, particularly within the chassis and braking systems. Particular attention must be paid to the front suspension and steering geometry. The offside front track rod end was flagged for slight play in 2023 before failing with excessive play in 2024, and the offside front suspension arm was noted as corroded in 2025. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clicking sounds when turning the steering wheel at low speeds or when traversing uneven road surfaces, as these can indicate further deterioration of the suspension linkages or ball joints. The braking system requires a detailed physical inspection. Given the history of corroded brake pipes and the current advisory regarding the rear brake hose ferrule, check for any signs of fluid weeping or excessive rust on all visible lines. The 2024 record also highlighted a dangerous failure for worn front brake pads and discs, as well as pitted rear discs. Ensure the brake pedal feels firm and consistent without judder, and verify that the vehicle does not pull to one side under braking, which could indicate uneven caliper pressure or binding.
