2015 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SP65 TYF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward deferred consumable maintenance. While it passed its latest test in July 2024 at 72,642 miles, the tester flagged multiple issues that suggest a lapse in proactive care. The rear service brake efficiency only marginally met the legal threshold, indicating potential sticking calipers or uneven pressure distribution. This, combined with all four tyres being noted as worn to the limit or perished, indicates that the previous owner has neglected basic upkeep items until the MOT inspection forced their attention. At 11 years old, the Nissan Juke has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK low-use patterns. The mileage record shows a steady usage pattern between 2020 and 2024, with intervals of roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles between tests. This low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been under heavy mechanical stress, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber components components, as evidenced by the perishing tyres and cracked sidewalls in the 2024 report. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the braking system and the suspension components. The history shows a recurring issue with rear brakes, moving from thin pads and pitted discs in 2021 to marginal efficiency readings in 2024. A physical inspection should check for seized caliper pistons and excessive corrosion on the brake lines or drums. Furthermore, given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, the suspension bushes, control arm bushings, and tyre boots should be checked for cracking, as these parts fail due to age rather than mileage alone on low-mileage cars.
