2013 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · YK63 HVT

Recurring electrical faults and repeated suspension and tyre issues define the mechanical profile of this Nissan Juke. The vehicle's most recent MOT on 08 October 2025 involved a failure due to an inoperative engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) and a fault indicated by the electronic stability control warning lamp, although these major electrical issues were rectified to achieve a subsequent pass. A pattern of wear is evident in the suspension and tyre components, with the 2025 record noting slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and cracking or perishing on the offside rear tyre. The recorded mileage of 87,673 miles over approximately 13 years equates to an average annual accumulation of roughly 6,744 miles. This level of usage is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent pattern of driving rather than long periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this steady mileage profile means that wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushes is expected to be progressive rather than sudden, which is reflected in the frequent advisories regarding tyre tread depth and brake pad thickness throughout the recorded history. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the suspension and steering components during a test drive. The history shows multiple failures and advisories related to ball joints, specifically the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and the anti-roll bar linkage. On the road, listen for rhythmic knocking or clunking noises when driving over uneven surfaces or speed bumps, and check for any wandering or instability in the steering. The recurring advisories for tyres being worn close to the legal limit or showing signs of perishing suggest that tyre replacement should be a primary consideration. The electrical history warrants a thorough functional check of all dashboard warning lights and stability control systems. Ensure that the engine management light and electronic stability control indicators operate correctly upon ignition and do not remain illuminated during transit. Additionally, the 2024 record noted a minor exhaust gas leak at the rear; during a test drive, listen for any unusual droning or increased engine noise that could indicate a worsening exhaust system defect. Finally, monitor the braking performance for any pulling or unevenness, given the repeated advisories regarding thinning brake pads.
