2013 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · VE13 AAF

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 18 May 2024 at 88,492 miles passed following a significant failure just two days prior. While the car is currently legal for the road, the 2024 failure for worn brake pads, structural tyre tears, and a nearside front Macpherson strut bush indicates that components were allowed to reach points of failure before being addressed. This suggests a trend of deferred maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a notable period of stability between 2020 and 2023 where the vehicle underwent annual tests with no recorded defects. However, the mileage increased from 79,308 miles in June 2022 to 88,492 miles by May 2024, representing an uptick in usage. This increased activity correlates with the accelerated wear of rubber-based components and braking systems seen in the more recent failures. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the history shows recurring issues with ball joints, steering rack inner joints, and Macpherson strut bushes. The 2019 failure also highlighted an electronic stability control fault and imbalanced front brakes, which should be verified to ensure these systemic issues were permanently rectified. Given the 2024 failure for structural tears in the tyres, the current age and condition of the rubber must be checked for cracking or uneven wear, as the previous owner demonstrated a tendency to overlook consumable replacement until failure..
