2017 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · VM57 MEG

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 7 August 2026, although this followed a failure concerning the windscreen washer system and wiper efficiency. A review of the historical data reveals a recurring pattern of failures related to the windscreen washing and wiping equipment, which suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a proactive one. While the vehicle is currently roadworthy, the repetition of these basic failures indicates that the previous owner may have overlooked routine preventative checks. With a recorded mileage of 75,951 miles over approximately nine years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,439 miles per year. This usage rate is typical for its age and suggests a consistent operational history without prolonged periods of standing or excessive long-distance wear. Mechanically, this mileage puts the vehicle in a phase where common wear-and-tear components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, will begin to show their age, necessitating a thorough inspection to ensure they remain within safe operational tolerances. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the braking system, as the August 2025 test recorded advisories for thin front brake pads and a pitted or scored nearside front inner brake disc. If these components have not been replaced since that inspection, the buyer should listen for metallic grinding noises and feel for any brake shudder or pulsation through the pedal during deceleration on the test drive. Additionally, given the repeated failures of the windscreen washer system, it is essential to verify that the pump, nozzles, and wiper blades are now functioning perfectly and that there are no leaks in the washer fluid reservoir or associated piping. Beyond the recorded defects, a vehicle of this age requires a comprehensive physical inspection of all consumables. Check the tyre sidewalls for perishing or cracking, particularly on the rear axle if the tyres have not been replaced recently. Inspect the engine bay for evidence of oil leaks and verify that the service history confirms regular oil and filter changes to prevent premature wear of the internal engine components. Finally, ensure the 12V battery is holding a strong charge and check the underbody for any significant corrosion on the chassis or suspension mounting points.
