2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SN63 ABX

The 2013 Nissan Juke shows a trend of increasing suspension and steering wear as mileage climbs. The most recent test on July 3, 2026 at 103,230 miles passed but revealed multiple advisories regarding play in the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and the nearside track rod end. This follows a pattern seen in 2025 at 99,223 miles, where a worn lower suspension arm bush was noted. While the vehicle remains roadworthy, the frequency of ball joint and steering component failures suggests the front end is nearing the end of service life and requires proactive attention to prevent future failures. Mileage usage is consistent with its age, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year. However, the history indicates a period of reactive maintenance between 2022 and 2023. In August 2022, the vehicle failed a test at 85,920 miles due to a critical failure of the track rod ends and an electronic stability control fault. The subsequent failure in August 2023 at 92,789 miles highlighted further issues including a failed seat belt buckle, corroded brake pipes, and excessively worn inner suspension bushes. These faults were addressed to secure a pass, but they demonstrate that components are often only replaced once reaching a failure threshold. Structural integrity is a point of concern for long-term ownership. The July 2026 report recorded corrosion on the front sub-frame, rear axle, and suspension arm mounting brackets. While the tester noted these areas were not yet seriously weakened, the presence of rust across multiple structural components indicates an ongoing progression. Additionally, a persistent oil leak from the sump area has been noted since 2019 and was flagged again in 2024. A buyer should specifically inspect the depth of the sub-frame corrosion to ensure it has not progressed beyond surface level.
