2013 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · VK63 ABV

The vehicle’s recent MOT history indicates a deteriorating roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 2026-03-04 at 130,928 miles resulted in a failure, with no defects recorded, but this follows a pattern of repeated failures. A prior failure on 2026-01-27 at 130,695 miles and another on 2025-06-18 at 129,997 miles suggests unresolved issues persisting despite attempts to address them. While a pass was recorded in 2025-06-25 at 130,011 miles, the subsequent failures imply that underlying problems remain uncorrected, raising concerns about the vehicle’s mechanical reliability. The mileage of 130,928 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 10,071 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. However, the rapid increase from 127,038 miles in 2024-11-08 to 129,997 miles just six weeks later highlights a significant surge in usage, potentially accelerating wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The absence of defects in passes does not guarantee mechanical soundness, as failures often reflect systemic issues rather than isolated faults. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or damaged coil springs, which could cause uneven tyre wear or handling instability. The repeated failures also warrant scrutiny of the braking system, including binding calipers or warped discs, as these are common causes of MOT refusals. Structural integrity should be assessed for rust or corrosion, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress. Despite the lack of recorded defects, the frequency of failures suggests hidden maintenance gaps that require professional evaluation before purchase.
