2013 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · VA13 CCV

A pattern of recurring minor defects and progressive exhaust corrosion defines the mechanical history of this vehicle. While the test on 10 March 2026 resulted in a pass, the record shows a persistent minor defect regarding windscreen damage that has remained unresolved since 2023. More critically, the exhaust system showed a trend of deterioration, moving from a corrosion advisory in 2024 to a major failure and emissions failure in April 2025 due to a corroded rear join. With 108,570 miles recorded over thirteen years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,352 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This level of usage suggests standard wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking consumables. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, indicating the vehicle has remained in active use. During a physical inspection, the offside front brake pipe should be examined, as it has been flagged as inadequately clipped or supported across multiple tests since 2024. Attention should also be paid to the steering rack, which had recorded play in the inner joints in 2022; during a test drive, listen for knocks or clicks when turning the wheel at low speeds. The rear suspension should be checked for stability, specifically the offside rear coil spring which was previously noted for corrosion. The exhaust system requires verification to ensure the 2025 repairs were comprehensive, listening for any abnormal drones or leaks under acceleration. Given the 2023 advisory for low oil levels, a manual check of the dipstick is necessary to confirm current levels. Finally, the windscreen should be inspected for the extent of the recorded damage to determine if the chips or cracks have progressed since the latest MOT.
