Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution due to the
When inspecting this vehicle, prioritise a thorough test drive to listen for knocking from the suspension, as the record shows repeated issues with ball joints, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar linkages. Given the 2026 failure regarding carbon monoxide levels, ensure the engine runs smoothly and check for any signs of exhaust leaks or smoke, which could indicate deeper engine or catalytic converter problems.
Negotiate the price heavily to account for the high mileage and the likelihood of needing further suspension and braking work. Verify if the recent repairs for the track rod end, suspension arm, and wheel bearing were completed at a reputable garage, and ask to see receipts for these specific parts to ensure they were replaced rather than patched.
As a 1.6-litre petrol model from 2011, this Juke sits in a higher tax bracket than smaller, modern engines. Fuel economy for this generation of Juke is generally moderate, but expect lower efficiency given the high mileage and potential engine wear.
Maintenance costs are likely to be above average for this vehicle. The recurring MOT advisories regarding brake pipes and suspension components suggest that annual repair bills will be higher than for a lower-mileage example. Insurance costs should be checked specifically for your profile, but the age of the vehicle may offset some of the premium costs.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension and steering components. The 2026 MOT failure identified issues with the track rod end, suspension arm ball joint, and wheel bearing; these are critical safety items that should be checked for any remaining play or noise. Examine the front brake pipes for signs of corrosion, as this was noted as an advisory in 2025.
Check all exterior lighting, specifically the registration plate and position lamps, as these have been flagged in previous MOT tests. Additionally, inspect the exhaust system from the manifold to the tailpipe to ensure that the previous issues with leaks have been fully resolved and that the vehicle is not emitting excessive fumes.
This 2011 Nissan Juke has covered 130,560 miles, which is significantly above the average for its age. The MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring suspension, braking, and exhaust issues, with multiple failures recorded in 2025 and 2026. While the vehicle passed its most recent test in July 2026, the history of component wear suggests a vehicle nearing the end of its reliable service life.
The Nissan Juke is known for common MOT failures related to suspension arms and brake components, which is consistent with the history of this specific vehicle.
