2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · VR51 ARR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a period of intermittent testing failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 June 2025 at 92,138 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical issues were addressed effectively. While the history shows instances of immediate rectification, the clean result of the last two annual tests suggests the vehicle is currently maintained to a standard that meets minimum safety requirements. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 18,000 miles between the June 2023 and June 2024 tests, followed by another 11,724 miles in the subsequent year. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber seals and braking components, though the increased mileage in 2023 likely accelerated the wear on suspension-related parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, although the records provided do not detail the exact fault points. Given the age of the Juke, a close look at the suspension bushes and coil spring integrity is necessary, as these are common points of failure on this model. The buyer should also check for corrosion on the exhaust system and the structural integrity of the sills to ensure the recent clean passes are not masking developing surface rust that could progress in the future.
