2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SL63 FHH

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend in mechanical components. While it passed its most recent test on 6 May 2025 at 49,784 miles, it had failed that same day due to multiple critical faults. The tester identified a major exhaust leak and a failure to complete emissions tests, alongside developing wear in the suspension and brakes. The fact that the vehicle required significant repairs to rectify these failures suggests that the owner only performs reactive maintenance rather than proactive preventative care. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 49,784 miles is significantly low, averaging only approximately 3,830 miles per year. This low usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. The record supports this with the 2022 and 2023 entries where tyres were flagged for cracking and perishing despite the low mileage. The gap between the May 2024 test and the 2025 failure shows the vehicle may sit for long periods, which can contribute to the deterioration of seals and rubber bushings. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the offside front suspension, as the record shows a recurring issue with worn arm pin bushes and ball joint play across 2023 and 2025. The front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in the latest test, which is common on vehicles that sit stationary due to corrosion. The oil leak noted in October 2023 should be visually inspected to ensure it has not worsened into a more significant fault. Given the previous major exhaust leak in May 2025, the integrity of the entire exhaust system should be checked for corrosion or poor-quality repairs.
