2012 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SW62 WBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on June 1, 2026 at 68,544 miles. However, the immediate history reveals a trend of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. A failure just three days prior on May 28, 2026, highlighted an excessively worn nearside front suspension arm bush, a ball joint with play, and thin front brake pads. While these issues appear to have been rectified to achieve compliance, the pattern suggests that components are only addressed once they reach failure thresholds rather than during scheduled intervals. At 14 years old, the vehicle has covered a relatively low distance, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. This low usage often preserves the engine and interior but can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces. Between July 2024 and July 2025, the car covered only 6,762 miles, yet the record shows multiple issues with the steering rack and suspension mounts. This indicates that the mechanical wear on this vehicle is driven by age-related perish and corrosion rather than distance-based strain on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension assembly and structural integrity. The record shows recurring corrosion on the front sub-frame dating back to 2023 and 2024, alongside reports of corroded rear axle mounting brackets and brake pipes. The presence of grease covering corroded pipes in 2023 is a specific red flag, as it is often used to hide structural decay. Further attention should be paid to the steering rack inner joints and the condition of the shock absorber bearings, as these have been flagged as advisories repeatedly over the last three years.
