2019 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · YK19 LJS

This 2019 Nissan Juke shows a clear and worsening pattern of corrosion to the brake pipes and wear to the front suspension arm bushes, which are the two main risks you need to address. The most recent MOT, just days ago, passed only after a failure for a dangerously corroded nearside rear brake pipe. That pipe was flagged as corroded and "chalked" in 2024 and 2025, meaning the corrosion has been present and has now progressed to the point of failure. The front lower arm rear bushes were also noted as worn on both sides at the last test, continuing a trend from the previous year. This is not a stable situation; the corrosion is actively worsening, and the suspension wear is persistent. The mileage is low for a seven-year-old car, averaging around 5,740 miles per year. This could mean the car has had a lot of short, stop-start journeys, which often accelerates underbody corrosion because the car doesn't get hot enough to dry out moisture and road salt. It could also mean periods of standing, which can cause brake pipes to corrode from the inside out if the fluid is old. The low mileage does not guarantee low wear on the items that are actually failing here. A buyer should first inspect the condition of all visible brake pipes, especially along the rear axle and near the nearside rear wheel, looking for rust, flaking, or any signs of grease or chalky residue.
