2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SJ13 LVS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 92,474 miles passed, it carried a minor advisory for an exhaust leak. This follows a significant failure just four days prior where the tester flagged a serious risk regarding the nearside track rod end, illegal tyres, and excessive engine oil leakage. The trend suggests that mechanical issues are only addressed once they reach a point of failure or legal illegality. The mileage progression is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,113 miles per year. There are no unusual gaps in the records, with the car moving steadily from 33,191 miles in 2018 to 92,474 miles by late 2025. This steady usage indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, yet the low annual mileage has not protected the car from age-related degradation of rubber and metal components, which is evident throughout the history. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension lines, as corrosion is a recurring issue. Brake pipes have been flagged for excessive corrosion in almost every test since 2019, indicating a vulnerability to rust. Furthermore, the suspension shows a history of multiple failures involving track rod ends, anti-roll bar linkages, and fractured coil springs. These recurring faults suggest that the lower suspension components are under stress or are being replaced with low-quality parts only after an MOT failure occurs. The engine health requires close attention due to documented oil leaks that escalated from a minor issue in 2023 to an excessive leak by the September 2025 failure. The buyer should check for active weeping around the engine block and gaskets to ensure the recent leak has been properly rectified. Given the history of thin brake pads and tyres being driven on below the legal limit, it should also be noted that the owner appears to neglect basic consumable maintenance until forced by the MOT tester.
