2016 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · YT66 GOC

The 2016 Nissan Juke’s most recent MOT, conducted just six months ago on 1 November 2025 at 70,664 miles, passed without any defects recorded. This marks a notable improvement over the previous test cycle, where the vehicle failed to address recurring issues such as rear tyre wear and brake pad thickness. While the absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests the owner has since rectified those problems, the history reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance—particularly with tyres and brakes—indicating inconsistent upkeep. The absence of advisories in the final test implies no immediate structural or safety-critical failures, but the earlier warnings point to components that may now require closer scrutiny. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 7,000 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a significant gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests, where mileage jumped from 30,758 to 46,342—a 15,584-mile increase in just over a year. This suggests either a period of heavier use or a lapse in MOT testing rather than neglect. The subsequent tests maintain a more consistent interval, though the 2023 and 2024 inspections reveal repeated tyre and brake issues, which could imply either delayed servicing or a failure to replace worn components promptly. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and braking system, given the repeated advisories on rear brake pad wear and tyre degradation. The 2023 and 2024 tests specifically flagged rear tyres worn to the legal limit with signs of uneven wear and flatspots, which could indicate alignment issues or prolonged underinflation. The front brakes were also noted as wearing thin in 2024, suggesting these pads may now be at or beyond their serviceable limit. Additionally, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for wear, as these components often degrade at similar mileage intervals. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and subframes, warrants inspection for corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and exposure history.
