2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SP13 KXK

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently good, but the maintenance trend is clearly deteriorating. The most recent MOT test in June 2026 was passed, yet the record shows a significant gap between the 2025-05-19 failure and the current June 2026 test. This 11-month gap suggests a lack of consistent upkeep, as the vehicle has not undergone a full MOT cycle since the 2025-05-19 test. The progression from a passing test in May 2025 to a failure in June 2026 indicates that the mechanical condition has worsened over time, particularly in the suspension and braking systems, which are critical components for roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is not uniform and reflects a lack of regular maintenance. The vehicle has accumulated 13,349 miles annually for approximately 13 years, which is high for a used car of this age. This pattern suggests that the owner may have been driving the car for extended periods without addressing wear on consumables or suspension bushings. The rapid mileage increase correlates with the failure of the rear shock absorbers in May 2025, which was the only test failure recorded prior to the most recent June 2026 test. This implies that the vehicle's drivetrain and suspension components are approaching the point of imminent failure due to accumulated wear, even though the engine and chassis have passed tests. Given the recurring faults, particularly the binding calipers and the structural integrity of the rear sub-frame, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the risk of further damage. The binding rear brakes are a serious structural risk that requires immediate attention to prevent the wheels from spinning or losing traction. The nearside front headlamp failure and the imbalance of front brake discs across an axle indicate that the suspension components are failing, which could lead to a rollover or loss of control. The rear shock absorbers have slight external damage, which is a warning sign that they may need replacement soon. A thorough inspection is necessary to verify the condition of these components and to determine if the vehicle warrants a full MOT renewal or if it is already beyond the safe driving limits.
