2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · VA13 DZP

This 2013 Nissan Juke presents an improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass most recently on 16 December 2025 at 127,624 miles. Earlier test cycles reveal a history of neglected consumables and emerging chassis wear, though the latest record shows a clear resolution of prior advisories. The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT for the next six months, indicating a stable roadworthiness status after a period of questionable upkeep. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 9,800 miles annually. The odometer climbed 11,773 miles between the test on 21 December 2023 and the most recent test in December 2025, reflecting steady driving. A prior gap in recorded data shows 10,548 miles covered between December 2022 and December 2023, confirming consistent annual mileage without any abnormal spikes or periods of prolonged inactivity. The MOT history highlights a recurring neglect of basic consumable maintenance that a buyer must verify has genuinely been rectified. The vehicle failed on 22 December 2022 at 91,616 miles for excessively worn front suspension arm ball joints, thin rear brake pads, and three tyres worn to the legal limit. Passing later that same day confirms the bare minimum repairs were executed solely to secure a certificate. The January 2025 test at 115,851 miles flagged slight play in the offside anti-roll bar linkage, the nearside track rod end, and the offside front lower steering linkage ball joint. These progressive suspension wear items demand a thorough physical inspection, as they indicate ongoing chassis stress. Beyond the steering and suspension components, the January 2025 advisory noted an offside rear brake pipe corroded and covered in grease, alongside an oil leak classed as not excessive and offside rear tyre stepping. A buyer should arrange a ramp inspection to assess the structural integrity of the corroded brake pipe and verify the severity of the engine oil leak. The tyre stepping points to potential rear shock absorber degradation or alignment issues. Confirm the earlier worn brake pads and tyres were replaced with quality components rather than budget items merely to pass the test.
