2013 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · YY13 WDU

The vehicle presents a mixed record with a clear deterioration trend, specifically concerning the rear axle and suspension components, which suggests the owner has not maintained the vehicle according to standard protocols. The most recent test on 2025-09-17 was a PASSED test at 104,485 miles, indicating that the vehicle has been drivable for a significant period without major structural failures. However, this clean record was immediately followed by a failed MOT on 2025-08-19 at 103,715 miles, where multiple critical issues including a failed front position lamp, a failed fog lamp, and a failed registration plate lamp were identified. This sequence of failures indicates that the owner has likely skipped basic upkeep measures, such as regular oil changes and timely brake inspections, which are essential for the longevity of the drivetrain and the rear axle. The mileage accumulation is not uniform and reflects a pattern of rapid wear that correlates with the vehicle's age. The vehicle is approximately 13 years old with roughly 8,000 miles per year, which is typical for a used vehicle, but the data shows that the owner has accumulated over 100,000 miles in a relatively short timeframe. This rapid mileage increase is likely due to the owner's use pattern, which may involve frequent short trips or lack of regular maintenance schedules. The fact that the MOT failed on 2025-08-19 at 103,715 miles while the previous test was on 2025-09-17 at 104,485 miles suggests that the vehicle has experienced significant cumulative wear, particularly on the rear axle and suspension, which are critical components for handling and stability. Given the recurring faults in the rear axle, suspension, and specific electrical systems, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of these components and assess the extent of any corrosion or wear. The inspection should focus on the rear axle, suspension bushes, and coil springs, as these have been flagged as corroded or worn. Additionally, the buyer should check the exhaust system for leaks and verify that the silencer is secure, as these are common causes of emissions failures. The buyer must also confirm the status of the front anti-roll bars and the ball joints, which have been identified as excessively worn. A thorough physical inspection is required to determine if these mechanical issues are causing the vehicle to fail the MOT or if they are merely minor consumable wear that has been addressed.
