2018 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · SY18 FZJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive repairs. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 80,829 miles passed, the tester noted that fitted covers prevented a full inspection of certain testable items, which creates a minor gap in the mechanical verification of the underbodys condition. Following a failure in June 2025, the vehicle was cleared and passed within two days, indicating that the mechanical faults were addressed immediately once they reached a failure threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles annually. The data shows steady progression between tests, moving from 44,245 miles in 2023 to 57,988 miles in 2024, and then to 73,866 miles by June 2025. This consistent accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally positive for preventing seal degradation but explains the accelerated wear observed on rubber components and metal hardware noted in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as the record shows recurring issues with the offside front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkages across both 2024 and 2025. These components appear to be reaching the end of their service life on that specific side. Additionally, the corrosion found on the offside rear brake pipe flagged in 2025 requires a close look to ensure the replacement was thorough and that rust has not spread to adjacent fittings. The 2024 advisory regarding perishing rear tyres also suggests that rubber age should be checked for sidewall cracking, regardless of remaining tread depth.
