2011 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · YC11 EHB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear move towards worsening mechanical condition following a period of stability. While the car passed its August 2025 test at 113,633 miles, the tester identified a significant volume of advisories that were absent in the previous two years. This shift from a clean record to a list of multiple component failures suggests that the vehicle is reaching a stage where age-related wear is now requiring proactive rather than just reactive maintenance. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in data between September 2023 (85,400 miles) and September 2024 (105,972 miles), where the car covered over 20,000 miles in a single year. The subsequent interval of nearly 8,000 miles leading to the 2025 test likely accelerated the wear on the rubber components and metal surfaces noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front suspension and steering system. The 2025 record flagged worn bushes on both lower suspension arms and a damaged track rod end dust cover, alongside noted play in the steering rack inner joints. These issues can lead to imprecise steering and uneven tyre wear if left untreated. The braking system also requires attention as both the front and rear discs are pitted and scored, and the central rear brake hose is showing signs of corrosion at the ferrule. The corroded exhaust section and joint indicate that structural rust is beginning, which will eventually result in a test failure. Additionally, the offside rear tyre shows signs of perishing, which occurs on older vehicles despite low mileage. Given the number of defects flagged in the latest MOT, a prospective buyer should verify that these items have been replaced since August 2025 or budget for immediate capital expenditure to restore the vehicle to peak condition.
