2023 Nissan Juke Tekna HEV CVT 1.6L Hybrid electric (clean) · WR73 FGF

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2023 Nissan Juke Tekna HEV CVT was conducted on 10 July 2026 and resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While there is only the one test entry available, which is consistent with the vehicle being just over three years old and therefore only now entering its third-year testing window, the absence of any flagged items indicates that at the point of inspection the vehicle met all statutory roadworthiness requirements covering brakes, tyres, suspension, lighting, emissions, and structural integrity. With no prior advisory history to establish a trend, the maintenance profile can presently be regarded as stable, though a single pass provides limited longitudinal data and the buyer should not assume the vehicle has been consistently maintained between tests without corroborating service documentation. The recorded mileage of 9,421 miles over approximately three years equates to an annual average of around 3,140 miles, which is considerably below the typical usage rate for a privately owned passenger vehicle. Such low mileage can indicate either genuinely light use, predominantly urban driving with frequent short trips, or extended periods of standing between uses, and each pattern carries distinct mechanical implications. Short-trip urban use places additional strain on the 12V auxiliary battery, brake components, and the hybrid system's high-voltage battery management due to frequent stop-start cycling, while prolonged standing periods can lead to brake disc corrosion, caliper binding, tyre flat-spotting, and degradation of rubber and fluid components. The hybrid powertrain itself, however, benefits from low-stress operation under such conditions, and the CVT transmission is unlikely to have accumulated significant wear at this mileage. Any substantial gaps between mileage recordings on the V5C log book or service invoices should be verified, as inconsistent odometer progression could indicate periods of inactivity rather than continuous light use. Given the clean MOT record and the vehicle's low accumulated mileage relative to its age, physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-related concerns. Tyre sidewalls should be examined closely for perishing, cracking, or UV damage, as tyres older than five years from their date code can deteriorate significantly even with abundant tread depth, and the age of the current set should be confirmed via the DOT stamping. Brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion, particularly around the outer edges and inner hat areas, as prolonged standing can cause rust build-up leading to juddering or grinding on initial application; similarly, the calipers should be checked for seized slider pins or pistons by attempting to push the vehicle with the handbrake released to detect any residual binding. The 12V auxiliary battery should be load-tested, as low-mileage vehicles with short journey profiles frequently suffer from chronic undercharging resulting in reduced cranking performance and premature failure, and the high-voltage hybrid battery should be interrogated via the dealer-level diagnostic tool to confirm state of health and balance between modules. On a test drive, particular attention should be paid to the smooth operation of the CVT transmission under light throttle, ensuring there is no juddering, slipping, or abnormal revving behaviour that could indicate fluid degradation or pressure issues. The regenerative braking system and transition between regenerative and friction braking should feel seamless, with no warning lights illuminated on the hybrid system display. Listen for any clonks or knocking from the suspension over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as the original bushes, drop links, and anti-roll bar mounts may have begun to stiffen or perish from age even at low mileage, and check for uneven tyre wear which could suggest alignment drift from standing. Finally, verify that the service book contains stamps at the correct intervals, confirm whether any time-based servicing such as brake fluid replacement, coolant change, or hybrid system inspection has been carried out in line with Nissan schedules, as calendar-aged fluids can degrade in condition regardless of mileage, and request evidence of any manufacturer warranty work or recall campaigns completed on this specific chassis.
