2015 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · WN65 BZW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding structural corrosion and mechanical wear. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 78,882 miles passed, the tester identified new issues including an oil leak and corrosion on the front Macpherson struts and rear axle suspension components. These defects represent a regression from the clean 2024 result, suggesting that while immediate safety failures are addressed, the underlying hardware is beginning to succumb to age-related degradation. The mileage pattern is consistent with average UK usage, averaging approximately 7,171 miles per year over the vehicle's 11-year life. There is a notable period of high activity between October 2023 and November 2024, where the car covered over 8,500 miles and underwent multiple failures. This period coincides with the discovery of worn ball joints and wiper wipers. Since the last recorded MOT in November 2025, the vehicle has sat for eight months, meaning the current status relies on data nearly a year old without further professional inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sub-frame and suspension points, as the record shows corrosion in these areas across both 2024 and 2025. The front ball joints failed twice in late 2024, so the buyer should verify these were replaced and check for play or noise. Additionally, the slight corrosion on the rear brake hose ferrules noted in 2025 is a recurring issue that requires monitoring to ensure it does not progress to failure. The oil leak identified in the 2025 test warrants a close look to determine if it is a minor gasket seep or a more significant engine-related failure. Given the history of thin brake pads and worn discs in 2020 and 2022, the current state of the braking system should also be verified. The vehicle appears to have been maintained reactively rather than proactively, and the emergence of rust on structural chassis components suggests that long-term structural integrity is now the primary concern moving forward.
