2022 Nissan Juke Tekna DIG-T 1.0L Petrol · YR22 TYC

The most recent DVSA examination on 17 September 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the vehicle was presented in a roadworthy condition at that time. The previous test on 11 March 2025 also passed, but the same date carries a failure record alongside it, meaning a defect was identified and rectified between the two entries. The failure centred on a nearside front tyre cut deep enough to expose the ply or cords, with advisories logged for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and rear brake pads wearing thin. Although the most recent result is clean, the fact that advisories were issued on the previous test suggests that wear items were approaching their service interval at the time. The overall trend appears broadly stable rather than worsening, particularly given the successful retest, but the recorded tyre and brake wear warrants attention during any pre-purchase inspection. The vehicle is approximately four years old with 33,089 recorded miles, equating to around 8,272 miles per year. This is a broadly typical usage pattern for a car of this age and type, neither indicating excessive high-mileage wear nor extended periods of standing that can give rise to age-related deterioration. MOT entries are recorded roughly six months apart in 2025, which is consistent with the standard first-test-at-three-years and subsequent annual testing cycle. The mileage is neither sparse nor unusually high, and there are no extended gaps in the documented record that would suggest prolonged inactivity. Mechanically, this rate of use is generally favourable, as regular driving helps keep components such as brakes, clutches, exhausts, and battery in working order, while still being light enough to avoid accelerated wear on major drivetrain items. For a prospective buyer, the front tyre and rear brake pad advisories from March 2025 should be the primary focus of physical inspection. The nearside front tyre was rejected for a cut exposing the ply, and the offside front was noted as worn close to the legal limit, so all four tyres should be examined for current tread depth using a calibrated gauge, with particular attention to the front pair. Uneven shoulder wear on the front tyres may point to suspension geometry issues, worn wishbone bushes, or tracking misalignment, while any perished sidewalls or cracking of the rubber compound would indicate age-related deterioration regardless of tread depth. The rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin at the previous test, and although they may since have been replaced, the rear discs should be inspected for lipping, scoring, or corrosion, and the calipers checked for binding or seized slide pins which can cause uneven pad wear and pull under braking. Beyond the specific advisories, a four-year-old Nisssan Juke with this mileage warrants a routine but thorough age-appropriate check. The 12V battery should be tested for state of charge and cranking performance, as batteries in this age bracket often begin to deteriorate regardless of use. Brake fluid should ideally have been changed during routine servicing, as it is hygroscopic and degrades over time, and engine coolant condition is worth verifying through service records. Given that the car has been driven regularly, particular attention on a test drive should be paid to any suspension clonks or knocking over uneven surfaces, which can indicate worn anti-roll bar bushes, drop links, or top mount bearings, all of which are known wear items on this model. The DCT or manual gearbox, depending on specification, should be checked for smooth operation and any hesitation or shudder, and the turbocharged DIG-T engine listened for any timing chain rattle on cold start, excessive oil consumption, or coolant loss, which have been reported on earlier examples. A full service history with confirming stamps and invoices remains essential to verify that the indicated mileage is accurate and that regular maintenance has been carried out at the correct intervals.
