2015 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · WX15 XAP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. While it passed its latest test in April 2026 at 47,395 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple defects in the suspension and braking. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a multi-point failure in 2026 suggests that mechanical components are only being addressed once they reach the point of legal failure or significant wear. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 47,395 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components due to age and dry rot over time rather than mechanical fatigue. The data shows a consistent pattern of roughly 3,400 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 2,400 miles leading into the 2026 inspection. This slow accumulation explains why components like suspension bushes and brake discs are failing despite the low overall mileage. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure that the lower arm ball joints and bushes replaced after the April 2026 failure have been fitted correctly. The tester previously flagged excessive wear across both the offside and nearside front components, which indicates widespread component aging. Additionally, the rear brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in the most recent test; the buyer should verify that these were replaced, rather than just the pads, to prevent poor braking performance. The persistent oil leak noted in the April 2026 test requires a thorough physical inspection. Although the tester deemed the leak not excessive to fail the MOT, a recurring leak on a low-mileage vehicle can indicate aging seals or gaskets that have hardened over time. Checking the engine bay for signs of fluid loss is essential to ensure the leak does not become a significant mechanical overhead for the new owner.
