2016 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · VE66 ABF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-22 at 59,232 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the prior test on 2025-12-18 at the same mileage failed without recorded defects, suggesting potential inconsistencies in testing or unresolved issues. Subsequent MOTs from 2024-10-15 (56,657 miles) and 2023-10-31 (54,411 miles) were both passed with no defects, while an earlier failure on 2023-10-31 (54,410 miles) also lacked defect details. This pattern implies intermittent testing challenges rather than persistent mechanical faults, though the absence of recorded issues in failures raises questions about the accuracy of the assessments. The vehicle’s mileage of 59,232 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 5,923 miles annually, which is below average for its age. This low mileage suggests minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation such as seized joints or battery drain. The MOT records show no significant gaps in testing, with annual checks from 2023 to 2025, but the repeated failures without defect listings limit the ability to assess mechanical trends. The lack of consumable wear indicators, such as tyre tread or brake pad measurements, in the records further complicates the evaluation of routine maintenance. A buyer should prioritise a hands-on inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage’s potential to mask wear. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to the absence of defect data in prior failures. Structural integrity should also be verified, as corrosion or panel damage may go unrecorded in MOTs. While the recent pass is positive, the inconsistent testing history and unexplained failures necessitate a professional assessment to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
