2013 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · VN13 XCB

The 2013 Nissan Juke’s most recent MOT test on 19 May 2025—just 14 months ago at 106,967 miles—confirmed no defects, maintaining a flawless pass record since 2022. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been subjected to either disciplined servicing or a fortunate absence of major failures. The lack of advisories or repeated faults implies no recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, which are common wear points at this mileage. However, the single failure in May 2023—just two days before passing—stands out as an anomaly, though no specific defect was logged, leaving its cause speculative. Mileage progression averages approximately 8,200 miles annually, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests remains standard, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The 2023 failure occurred over a single day, suggesting either a minor oversight or a component nearing its limit before replacement. No red flags emerge from the recorded usage pattern, though the absence of service records complicates a fuller assessment of maintenance discipline. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear subframe and track arms, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brake system—discs, pads, and calipers—should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has seen varied driving conditions. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills and wheel arches, warrants close examination, as does the exhaust system for leaks or catalytic converter efficiency, given the 2025 test’s emphasis on emissions compliance. The 2023 failure, though unexplained, hints at a potential oversight in fluid checks or minor components like hoses or belts, so these should also be scrutinised.
