2018 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · TA15 COT

The 2025‑09‑22 MOT recorded a pass at 28,301 miles, yet the same day a failure at 28,295 miles highlighted a near‑side front track rod end ball joint with excessive play, rendering the vehicle currently non‑roadworthy until remedied; the prior history shows a stable passing trend from 2021 through 2024, but this recent failure signals a worsening suspension fault that must be addressed before the car can be considered safe. The mileage has risen steadily from 19,785 miles in September 2021 to 28,301 miles in September 2025, an average of roughly 3,500 miles per year, indicating consistent, light use with no major gaps in the annual testing intervals. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension geometry, focusing on the track rod end ball joint for play, the condition of the front strut pins and bushes, and the lower arm pins, while also checking the brake system for disc scoring, pad thickness, and caliper binding, and examining the chassis for any corrosion or structural damage that could compromise safety.
