2018 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · YB18 NLF

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until December 2026, following a successful retest on 30 December 2025 at 40,503 miles. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the failure regarding a fractured offside rear coil spring indicates a significant mechanical issue that required immediate rectification. This failure, combined with recurring minor defects, suggests a maintenance pattern where the vehicle is only addressed when a test failure forces intervention rather than through proactive servicing. The recorded mileage of 40,503 miles over eight years averages approximately 5,063 miles annually, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The history shows consistent annual testing, with no significant gaps in usage that might suggest long-term storage or neglect. The steady accumulation of miles indicates the car has seen regular, light use, though the low annual distance may contribute to the accelerated wear observed on specific components like tyres and suspension springs, which often suffer more from age-related degradation than high-mileage motorway use. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear suspension setup, specifically checking the replaced coil spring and the condition of the matching nearside unit to ensure balanced performance. The history of tyre wear on the inner edges, noted in December 2022, warrants a check of the current tyre tread depth and a potential four-wheel alignment assessment to rule out underlying geometry issues. Given the previous advisory regarding thin front brake pads in March 2022, verify the current thickness of both discs and pads, as the low mileage might mask the need for replacement if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary.
