2017 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · VO17 BFM

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift from total neglect to reactive repairs. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 77,259 miles passed, the tester identified corrosion on both the nearside and offside front brake pipes, which were obscured by grease. This suggests an attempt to mask surface degradation or simply a lack of preventative cleaning, marking a significant departure from the defect-free record seen in 2022. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles annually. There is a notable jump in usage between January 2022 and January 2023, where the car covered 16,000 miles, followed by a stead accumulation of roughly 12,000 to 13,000 miles per year thereafter. While the mileage is typical, the recurring issues with tyres noted from 2023 through 2025 indicate that previous owners frequently ran rubber until they reached legal wear limits rather than following proactive replacement schedules. A buyer must focus inspection on the braking system and steering components. The 2024 test flagged imbalanced front brakes and play in the steering rack inner joints, issues that suggest mechanical wear beyond simple consumable replacement. Given the history of pitted rear brake discs in 2023 and the corroded pipes found in 2026, a thorough check of the hydraulic lines and the condition of the brake calipers is essential. The persistent pattern of edge-wear on multiple tyres also warrants a professional alignment check to ensure the suspension geometry is not causing premature tyre failure.
