2013 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · YA13 FDM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of worsening structural and mechanical neglect. While it passed its most recent test in June 2025 at 124,009 miles, this followed a failure that highlighted several critical areas. The recurring presence of corrosion on the rear sub-frame and both front coil springs indicates that the chassis is beginning to suffer from environmental degradation, which often leads to structural failure in older vehicles if not treated or replaced promptly. At 124,009 miles over 13 years, the Nissan Juke has covered an average of approximately 9,500 miles per year. This aligns with typical annual usage for its age. The record shows a consistent progression of mileage, with roughly 5,500 miles driven between July 2023 and July 2024. However, the steady mileage has not translated into proactive maintenance, as evidenced by the multiple failures in mid-2024 where exhaust leaks, brake pipes, and worn components were ignored until they failed official inspections. A physical inspection must prioritize the structural integrity of the rear sub-frame, as the 2025 tester flagged corrosion that was not yet seriously weakened but is present. The buyer should also examine the front coil springs for signs of cracking or thinning, given the heavy rust noted in the most recent test. The 2024 failure involving leaking rear brake pipes and a damaged offside pipe suggests the braking system has been prone to corrosion, requiring a thorough check of hydraulic lines and seized calipers to ensure no further leaks have developed.
