2010 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · TA07 MED

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing wear-related faults. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 118,182 miles passed, the tester identified a minor exhaust leak at the mid-pipe to back box joint and slight play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. This follows a failure in June 2024 due to an excessively worn nearside front lower arm ball joint, indicating that the front suspension geometry is now reaching the end of its service life across multiple components. With a total of 118,182 miles, the car averages approximately 7,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The data shows a consistent usage pattern with roughly 11,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 11,200 miles between 2024 and 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally explains the degradation of rubber-based components and exhaust seals. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension for further signs of play, as the ball joints have been flagged on both sides of the vehicle in successive years. The recurring oil leak, which has been noted in both the 2024 and 2025 records, requires close attention to ensure it does not evolve into a significant loss that affects drivetrain components. Additionally, the minor exhaust leak identified in the latest test should be monitored for worsening to prevent future emissions failures, and the perished tyres noted in 2023 should be checked for sidewall cracking despite their tread depth.
