2015 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · WU65 OSC

The vehicle shows a concerning downward trend in maintenance standards, evidenced by the significant number of failures recorded in the most recent testing cycle. While the June 2026 test at 94,962 miles resulted in a pass, the vehicle failed just three days prior with a substantial list of defects. This recent failure included serious mechanical issues such as a major exhaust gas leak, an insecure silencer, and an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. The presence of these faults, alongside a nearside front tyre with a cut reaching the cords, suggests that the vehicle has recently been neglected or that previous repairs were insufficient. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 22,815 miles in August 2018 to the current 94,962 miles in June 2026. There are no significant gaps in the data that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the frequency of failures has increased notably in the last two years. The jump from 70,028 miles in June 2024 to 83,650 miles in June 2025, and then to 94,962 miles in June 2026, indicates a stable, active driving pattern. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and exhaust systems. The MOT history shows recurring issues with suspension components, specifically the ball joint play noted in July 2023 and the subsequent failure in June 2026. The recent major exhaust leak and insecure silencer require verification that the entire system has been replaced or professionally repaired rather than patched. You should also check the condition of the shock absorbers, as the June 2026 test flagged reduced damping on the nearside front. Attention should also be paid to consumable items and minor electrical components. The record shows a history of tyre-related failures, including tread depth issues in 2018 and 2021, and a structural cut in 2026. Inspect the current tyres for uneven wear or damage. The recent failure regarding the nearside front seat belt webbing suggests that interior safety components may also be deteriorating. Finally, verify that all lighting, including the side repeaters and headlamps, functions correctly, as these have been intermittent points of failure in recent years.
