2016 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · SW65 MXH

The vehicle's MOT history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance regarding front suspension and steering components. In the most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 102,293 miles, the Juke failed with an extensive list of mechanical deplets, including a fractured offside front coil spring, excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, and play in the steering rack inner joints. While the vehicle passed later that same day, the tester noted a noisy nearside front wheel bearing and play in the offside suspension arm. The recurring nature of ball joint and track rod issues suggests that the previous owner only addressed components upon inspection failure rather than performing preventative replacements. Mileage accumulation is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. There was a 16,560-mile interval between the January 2025 test at 85,733 miles and the January 2026 test. During the 2025 inspection, the vehicle failed due to a torn offside wiper blade and minor play in the anti-roll bar linkage and track rod ends. The rapid progression from minor play in 2025 to a fractured coil spring and steering rack play in 2026 indicates accelerating wear on the front-end geometry and drivetrain. Tyre management shows specific concerns regarding alignment and age. The 2026 failure flagged both rear tyres as being at or near legal limit, with measurements of 1.8mm and 2.4mm, both showing inner-edge wear and cracking. This pattern often points to incorrect camber settings or worn shock absorbers causing uneven scrubbing. A buyer should verify the current state of all four tyres and ensure the recent repairs to the steering rack and suspension have been properly executed, as these components are critical to vehicle handling and safety.
