2015 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · YF65 UEY

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend that suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed its most recent MOT in July 2025 at 84,343 miles, this followed a significant failure just six days prior. That failure revealed multiple critical defects including excessively worn suspension ball joints, thin brake components, and a binding front caliper. The fact that these issues were addressed only to secure a pass indicates the previous owner likely performed the minimum work required to maintain road legality rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 84,343 miles over eleven years, the Nissan Juke has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns. However, the data shows a period of high activity with nearly 7,000 miles covered between November 2023 and July 2024. This rapid accumulation, combined with the recurring failure of tyres and suspension components, suggests the vehicle is currently under significant mechanical stress. The clean record from July 2024 at 77,648 miles is overshadowed by the mechanical decline seen in the most recent tests. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension to ensure the newly replaced ball joints and dust covers have been fitted correctly, as the tester previously flagged both sides for excessive wear. The presence of an oil leak in July 2025 requires a thorough underbody inspection to determine the source and verify if the leak is worsening. Additionally, the noted advisory for axle corrosion warrants a physical check of structural integrity to ensure the rust is not progressing toward a point of failure. Verify the anti-lock braking system is now functioning correctly, as the previous failure due to the warning lamp not illuminating indicates a hidden electrical or sensor fault that was attention.
