2015 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · VE65 CFF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a lapse in basic preventative maintenance. While the car maintained a clean record for three consecutive years, the failure on 29 May 2026 at 74,221 miles reveals immediate neglect regarding tyres and steering components. Although it passed a re-test on 1 June 2026 at 74,300 miles, the trend shows a shift from a stable maintenance history to a period of reactive repairs. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2025, the car covered 13,552 miles, showing a steady rate of use. However, the 7,092 miles recorded between the 2025 and early 2026 tests show a slight increase in activity that coincided with the mechanical failures. The low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been overworked, but the wear on rubber components and tyres is not being monitored effectively before the MOT deadline. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, as the tester flagged both the nearside and offside track rod end ball joint dust covers as deteriorated. While these were noted as minor advisories, the degradation of both sides simultaneously suggests aging rubber components that may lead to premature wear of the joints. The previous failure for an offside tyre with a cut reaching the cords and uneven wear also indicates potential wheel alignment issues or impact damage. A physical check of the current front tyre tread and suspension bushings is required to ensure the recent repairs addressed the underlying causes.
