2016 Nissan Juke 1.6L Petrol · YT66 WWD

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 3 November 2025, though the history indicates a concerning trend regarding the maintenance of consumables. While the car consistently passes, there is a recurring pattern of advisories related to tyre wear and braking system deterioration. The progression from thin pads in 2020 to a dangerous failure in 2021, followed by persistent reports of pitted and scored brake discs, suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to mechanical upkeep. With 86,998 recorded miles over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,700 miles per annum. This is considered typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class. This level of mileage means that while the engine and drivetrain should remain robust, the car is entering a phase where secondary components such as suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and auxiliary belts will likely require inspection or replacement due to standard wear and tear. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the braking system, specifically the rear discs and pads. The repeated mentions of pitting and scoring indicate that the discs may have been left to corrode or have been worn down significantly without being replaced. During a test drive, listen for any grinding noises or feel for vibrations through the brake pedal, which would indicate warped or heavily scored discs. Additionally, the 2024 advisory regarding play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint should be verified. Listen for clunking or knocking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or during low-speed manoeuvring, as worn ball joints can compromise steering precision and tyre longevity. The MOT history reveals a persistent issue with tyres being worn close to the legal limit or exhibiting edge wear. This often points to incorrect wheel alignment or a lack of regular tyre rotation. Inspect the current tread depth across the full width of the tyre and look for uneven wear patterns on the inner or outer shoulders. Given the age of the vehicle, it is also essential to verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based maintenance, such as engine oil and filter changes and brake fluid flushes, has been performed regardless of the annual mileage. Ensure the service book is stamped and that there are no signs of fluid leaks around the engine bay.
