2015 Nissan Juke 1.2L Petrol · YP65 XBG

The 1.2‑litre petrol engine in the 2015 Juke typically achieves around 45 mpg combined, leading to fuel costs of roughly £800‑£900 per year based on average UK mileage. Road tax for this model falls in the £150‑£200 band, depending on the exact CO2 emissions. Insurance groups for the Juke are usually in the mid‑teen range, translating to an annual premium of about £600‑£800 for a standard driver.

Maintenance for the Juke is generally moderate, but owners should budget for periodic suspension checks given the model's known ball joint and suspension arm issues. Expect annual servicing and tyre wear costs of around £150‑£250. Adding fuel, tax, insurance and typical upkeep gives an estimated annual running cost of £800‑£1,000.

Inspect the front tyres closely; the MOT records show they were close to the legal tread limit in 2023 and again in 2025. Verify tread depth and look for uneven wear that could indicate alignment problems. If the tyres are near the minimum legal depth (3mm), plan for replacement soon.

Given the model's propensity for ball joint and suspension arm failures, have a qualified mechanic check the condition of the front suspension, steering rack, and any audible clunks when turning or over bumps. Look for any signs of wear, corrosion, or leaking shock absorbers, as these are common weak points for the Juke.

Also review the exhaust system for any rust or cracks, as exhaust failures rank among the top MOT issues for this model. Ensure there are no unusual noises, smoke, or warning lights that could indicate underlying problems not captured by the MOT.
