2020 Nissan Juke N-Connecta DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · ST70 LHC

Based on the official DVSA MOT records, this 2020 Nissan Juke N-Connecta DIG-T S-A presents a stable and largely positive roadworthiness profile. The most recent test, conducted on 23 January 2026 at 19,521 miles, passed with zero defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently meets all minimum safety standards. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though the record reveals a minor intermittent issue with front suspension bushes that warrants attention. The January 2026 clean sheet suggests any earlier deterioration has been addressed, but the recurrence of a similar advisory in the 2025 test confirms this area requires ongoing monitoring. The mileage pattern is notably low for a six-year-old vehicle. Accumulating just 19,521 miles since 2020 equates to roughly 3,254 miles per year, well below the UK annual average. The intervals between tests show consistent but modest usage: 10,792 miles in February 2023, 15,187 miles in January 2024, 17,403 miles in February 2025, and 19,521 miles in January 2026. This steady accumulation of approximately 2,000 to 2,200 miles per annum suggests regular short-to-medium distance driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. Low mileage generally reduces wear on consumables, but infrequent use can cause its own issues, including brake disc surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting from standing, and potential moisture ingress in the exhaust or fuel system. The 2025 test on 4 February at 17,403 miles flagged two advisories: the offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge, while the nearside front suspension arm pin or bush was noted as worn but not yet resulting in excessive movement. The edge wear on the tyre points to possible tracking misalignment or aggressive cornering habits, and the suspension bush advisory indicates the front end has experienced some fatigue despite the low mileage. A prospective buyer should inspect the inner and outer edges of all four tyres carefully, checking for uneven wear patterns that could indicate alignment or suspension geometry issues. The front suspension bushes, particularly on the nearside, should be physically checked for play, and the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers assessed for any signs of corrosion or oil misting. Beyond the flagged items, the clean MOT record across four consecutive tests is reassuring, but a physical inspection remains essential. Examine the underside for structural corrosion, paying close attention to suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake line runs. Check the brake discs and pads for surface rust or lipping, which can develop even on low-mileage vehicles that sit unused for extended periods. The turbocharged DIG-T engine should be cold-started to assess for any unusual smoke, rattles, or oil leaks around the turbocharger and intercooler pipework. Given the clean January 2026 result, the vehicle appears well-maintained, but the recurring front-end advisories suggest a thorough pre-purchase inspection of the steering and suspension geometry would be a prudent investment.
