2012 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · VO12 NPZ

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-01 recorded a pass with 192,447 miles, but the prior test on 2025-10-30 showed a failure with 192,389 miles. The short interval of just 58 miles between these tests suggests minimal recent use, though the vehicle remains 14 years old with an extremely high recorded mileage of 192,447 miles. This equates to an average of 13,746 miles per year, far exceeding typical usage for its age, which may indicate heavy wear on critical components. Recurring issues include the nearside registration plate lamp inoperative, nearside front wiper blade secured with a cable tie, and power steering pump seepage. These defects persisted across multiple MOTs, raising concerns about neglect or unresolved repairs. The 2025 failure also highlighted severe tyre tread depth violations, with both front tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit, and a missing nearside rear brake pad, which could compromise stopping power. The nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint was excessively worn, a safety risk affecting handling. The trend shows some worsening conditions: tyre wear and brake component issues emerged in 2025, while earlier MOTs focused on minor defects and child seat obstructions. The anti-roll bar joint wear escalated from "slight play" in 2024 to "excessive wear" in 2025, indicating progressive degradation. However, the high mileage and age make it difficult to determine if these issues stem from long-term heavy use or intermittent neglect.
