2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · ST61 KUD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in December 2025, but the maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive. While it passed the most recent inspection, it followed a failure involving multiple critical defects including suspension components, braking systems, and tires. The recurring nature of faults like worn pads and discs across several years suggests that repairs are often only addressed when necessary to pass a test, rather than as part of a consistent service schedule. The mileage pattern is relatively low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between March 2024 and December 2024, where the car covered fewer than 900 miles, followed by a burst of activity leading into the recent tests. While the low mileage generally reduces engine-related wear, it does not prevent age-related degradation, such as the persistent corrosion found on brake pipes and the perishing rubber components noted in the history. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as corrosion on the rear brake pipes and hoses has been a recurring issue. The history specifically mentions pipes being covered in grease, which can hide past leaks or attempts to mask rust. Attention should also be paid to the front suspension, specifically the track rod ends and ball joint boots, which have previously been flagged for excessive play and failing seals. Furthermore, the exhaust system should be checked for structural integrity, as the back box was noted as broken internally in recent tests. Given the history of tires failing with insufficient tread depth or sidewall damage, the buyer must verify the current condition of all four tires to ensure they are not nearing immediate replacement.
