2017 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · Y29 HEN

The 2017 Nissan Juke’s most recent MOT, conducted on 15 May 2025 at 110,062 miles, passed without any recorded defects, confirming it remains roadworthy for another year. The test history since 2022 shows a consistent pattern of clean passes, with no advisories or failures in the last three annual tests. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline level, though the absence of advisories does not preclude underlying wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which often degrade incrementally without immediate MOT failure. The lack of repeated faults implies no obvious neglect, but the high mileage demands closer scrutiny of components that typically fail around this range. The recorded mileage of 110,062 miles over nine years—approximately 12,229 miles annually—is significantly above average for a vehicle of this age, indicating either intensive use or prolonged periods of inactivity followed by rapid accumulation. Notably, the gap between the failed test on 4 May 2023 (92,345 miles) and the subsequent pass on 15 May 2023 (92,504 miles) suggests the vehicle was driven just 159 miles between tests, an unusually short interval that could imply either a rushed repair or a minor oversight in scheduling. The steady mileage progression since then, however, shows no abrupt spikes or drops, which might otherwise raise concerns about inconsistent maintenance or extended periods of disuse. Given the high mileage, a prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this stage. The brakes, while not explicitly failed in MOTs, warrant examination for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads—common issues in high-mileage vehicles. Structural integrity should also be assessed, especially around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe mounts, where corrosion or impact damage could compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. The absence of advisories in recent tests does not guarantee these areas are sound, so a thorough visual and functional check is essential.
