2021 Nissan Juke N-Connecta DIG-T S-A 1.0L Petrol · YP71 CTF

The most recent DVSA MOT carried out on 11 November 2025 was passed with no recorded defects, following an identical clean result on the 12 November 2024 test. This uninterrupted succession of fault‑free examinations indicates a stable maintenance regime, with no emerging safety or emissions concerns evident from the official records. The absence of advisories over two consecutive years suggests that the owner has kept to the prescribed service intervals and that major components such as the braking system, suspension and exhaust have remained within acceptable condition. At five years old the Juke has logged 31,768 miles, equating to roughly 6,350 miles per annum. This figure sits comfortably within the UK average of 7‑8 thousand miles per year, implying moderate, non‑aggressive usage. The mileage profile does not reveal any large gaps that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity, nor does it indicate high‑speed, high‑load operation. Consequently, wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and clutch should be proportionate to age rather than excessive mileage, but the relatively low annual total does mean that age‑related degradation may be more prominent than mileage‑induced fatigue. For a prospective buyer the primary visual checks should focus on age‑related items. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or any signs of perishing, particularly on the front tyres which bear the majority of steering loads; tread depth should be at least 3 mm across the width. Examine the wheel arches and under‑body for corrosion, especially around the wheel wells, suspension mounting points and the lower chassis rails, as prolonged standing can promote rust that may affect structural integrity. Verify the condition of the 12‑volt battery – look for swollen cases, corroded terminals and test the resting voltage; a battery older than three years may be nearing the end of its service life and could benefit from a load test. Check that all fluid reservoirs – engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and power‑steering fluid – are topped up and that the oil appears clean, as time can cause fluid breakdown even when mileage is modest. During a test drive listen for any unusual noises that could betray hidden wear: clunking or creaking over bumps may point to deteriorating suspension bushes or worn coil springs, while a pulsating or shuddering sensation under braking could indicate surface rust on the brake discs or partially seized caliper pistons. Observe the steering response for any play or vibration that might suggest worn tie‑rod ends or a compromised steering rack. Finally, confirm that the service book is stamped at the appropriate intervals and that any time‑based services – such as the 48‑month coolant flush or the 36‑month brake fluid change – have been recorded, as adherence to these schedules is crucial for maintaining the vehicle’s long‑term reliability.
