2012 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · YF62 CWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward developing mechanical wear. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 96,991 miles passed, it revealed worn front lower suspension arm bushes and binding calipers on both the offside front and nearside rear. These issues represent a departure from the clean record seen in 2024, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their service life and require proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 7,000 miles between May 2023 and September 2024, during which the vehicle failed a test for an excessive engine oil leak. The subsequent interval of 3,232 miles between September 2024 and September 2025 suggests more sporadic usage recently, which often exacerbates the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware over longer periods. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the engine to address the persistent oil leak that has appeared in nearly every test since 2023. The transition from a minor leak to an excessive failure in September 2024 suggests a gasket or seal failure that is worsening. Additionally, the reported binding brakes and worn suspension bushes from the 2025 test necessitate a physical check for uneven disc wear and play in the steering geometry to ensure these issues have not progressed beyond the point of safe operation without immediate replacement.
