2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · VA14 CEV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension wear and component degradation. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 79,570 miles passed, it flagged multiple advisories for front tyres showing perishing and uneven wear. This follows a pattern of failing to address developing mechanical issues from previous years, specifically regarding the front-end steering and suspension-related components, suggesting that preventative maintenance has been deferred until components reached a critical point. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 8,200 miles between February 2022 and February 2023, followed by a steady usage rate of roughly 7,000 to 7,600 miles annually thereafter. The clean record from 2022 at 63,043 miles contrasts sharply with the subsequent years, which show increasingly frequent advisories for ball joints and exhaust components as the vehicle has aged. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record shows recurring play in the nearside front arm ball joints and track rod ends dating back to 2023 and 2025, which likely now require immediate replacement to ensure steering precision and safety. Additionally, the corrosion on the rear brake pipes noted in May 2025 requires close physical inspection to ensure the degradation has not progressed into structural failure of the hydraulic lines. The exhaust system, which showed a leak in 2023, should also be checked for further deterioration or structural rust around the backbox mounting.
