2015 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · SS05 SAL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive prevention. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 55,368 miles passed, the tester flagged a slightly deteriorated rear brake hose and an underinflated nearside rear tyre. This follows a pattern of recurring wear-related issues being noted over several years, suggesting that components are only addressed once they approach a failure point or trigger an MOT advisory. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 55,368 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows a notable gap in usage between December 2022 and July 2024, where the vehicle covered only 8,752 miles in nearly nineteen months. This low-frequency use often leads to the gradual degradation of rubber components, such as brake hoses and suspension bushes, which aligns with the discovery of deterioration found in the rear brake hose during the August 2025 test. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint, which was flagged with slight play in July 2024 at 49,005 miles. This indicates the beginning of suspension wear that could lead to unpredictable handling if not replaced. Furthermore, the consistent history of tyres worn unevenly on the edges across 2021, 2024, and 2025 suggests a persistent alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures. A thorough check of the rear brake system is also warranted, as the record shows a failure for thin pads and worn discs in 2021, followed by continued advisories in later years.
