2011 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · YA11 JPF

The 2026-05-20 MOT for the 2011 Nissan Juke recorded 111,683 miles and resulted in a pass, but several issues were noted. The nearside front track rod end ball joint showed slight play, front brake pads were wearing thin, and surface rust was present on the underside. These findings suggest ongoing maintenance needs, particularly for steering and braking systems, and indicate some level of corrosion exposure. A review of the MOT history reveals recurring issues with corrosion, steering components, and brake systems. From 2024 to 2025, multiple failures and warnings highlighted underbody corrosion, brake pipe degradation, and play in the steering rack and track rod ends. While the 2026 MOT showed improvement in some areas, such as no mention of brake binding or severe corrosion, the persistence of minor issues like brake pad wear and track rod play suggests unresolved underlying problems. The vehicle’s condition trend appears stable but not improving. Many issues from earlier MOTs, such as steering rack play and brake pipe corrosion, reoccurred in subsequent tests, indicating potential neglect or repeated exposure to harsh conditions. However, the 2026 MOT’s pass with fewer critical failures may reflect targeted repairs. The mileage of 111,683 miles (roughly 7,446 per year) is typical for a 15-year-old vehicle, implying average wear but not excessive strain on components like the drivetrain or suspension.
