2017 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · YA66 XPV

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile with a maintenance history that suggests a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in October 2025 at 83,047 miles, this followed a significant failure just days prior. The September 2025 failure revealed critical safety defects, including fractured rear coil springs, an inoperative parking brake, and exposed tyre cords. The persistence of thin front brake pads and worn anti-roll bar linkages into the subsequent pass indicates that components are only being addressed once they reach a failure threshold. At 83,047 miles over nine years, the Nissan Juke averages approximately 9,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a petrol car. However, the mileage accumulation between tests shows fluctuations. Between September 2023 and October 2024, the car covered over 16,000 miles, whereas the interval between October 2024 and September 2025 saw only 13,600 miles. This steady usage pattern aligns with the accelerated wear observed on suspension components and the braking system. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. Records consistently flag corrosion on the brake pipes across the rear axle dating back to 2023, which suggests an ongoing issue with corrosion that has not been fully remediated. The steering rack inner joints and front suspension arm bushes were previously noted for wear in 2024, so the buyer should check for play or steering knocks during a test drive to ensure these issues have not progressed into more costly mechanical failures. The bodywork and hardware also show signs of neglect. The deteriorated driver's door hinge and loose check strap have been flagged in the two most recent tests, indicating a failure to maintain minor structural hardware. Given the history of fractured springs and perished tyres, the overall state of the rubber and metal components in the undercarriage should be scrutinized to ensure the vehicle is not nearing another mechanical failure beyond the current MOT advisories.
