2011 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · WM11 ACX

The 2011 Nissan Juke’s most recent MOT, conducted on 26 April 2025 at 68,204 miles, confirms a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This marks the fifth consecutive test without failings, suggesting the vehicle has maintained consistent roadworthiness over the past two years. The absence of recurring advisories or defects implies that major systems—brakes, suspension, exhaust, and structural integrity—have been either well-maintained or have not yet reached critical wear thresholds. However, the most recent test occurred just under three months ago, which is within the acceptable window for a vehicle of this age, though buyers should verify if the current owner has adhered to post-MOT servicing recommendations. The recorded mileage of 68,204 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 4,547 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either light usage, prolonged periods of storage, or a combination of both. The most notable gap in testing occurs between the 2022 January tests, where two MOTs were recorded on the same date—one pass and one fail—both at 58,463 miles. This anomaly could indicate a temporary oversight in scheduling or an error in the record, but it does not suggest a pattern of neglect. The subsequent tests in 2023 and 2024 show regular intervals of around 12–13 months between MOTs, reinforcing a stable maintenance routine. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer’s primary focus should be on suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in a vehicle of this age and mileage. The lack of advisories does not preclude gradual deterioration, so inspecting for uneven tyre wear, excessive play in the steering, or a stiff ride quality would be prudent. Brakes, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven pad thickness or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced periods of inactivity. Additionally, a thorough examination of the underbody for corrosion—particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and subframe—is essential, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. The absence of emissions-related failings in recent tests is reassuring, but a visual check of the catalytic converter and exhaust system for leaks or damage is still advisable.
