2021 Nissan Juke Tekna + DIG-T 1.0L Petrol · YY21 SVV

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2021 Nissan Juke Tekna DIG-T was conducted on 15 July 2025, resulting in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This is corroborated by the previous examination on 23 July 2024, which also returned a pass with no advisories, meaning the vehicle has demonstrated a fully clean roadworthiness record across two consecutive annual tests. While a clean MOT history is a positive indicator of fundamental safety compliance, the absence of advisory notes should be interpreted with a degree of caution, as DVSA examiners only comment on defects visible at the time of test and do not assess the future service life of components. Overall, the maintenance trend from an MOT perspective appears stable, with no recorded deterioration in the test outcomes over the observed period. With a recorded mileage of 24,057 miles over approximately five years of service, this Juke is accruing mileage at a rate of around 4,811 miles per year, which is notably below the national average and suggests either predominantly light-duty use, a predominantly urban driving profile, or extended periods of standing. Low annual mileage does reduce wear on high-friction components such as clutch assemblies, brake pads, and drivetrain elements, but it simultaneously introduces a distinct set of risks associated with underutilisation. Vehicles that are infrequently driven are particularly susceptible to moisture accumulation within the engine oil, brake fluid degradation, brake disc corrosion due to lack of regular bedding-in, and potential deterioration of rubber and polymer components through environmental exposure rather than mechanical wear. From a practical inspection standpoint, particular attention should be directed towards the tyres, as even tyres with adequate tread depth may exhibit sidewall perishing, cracking, or UV degradation given the age of the vehicle, and any rubber older than five years should be carefully scrutinised for its date code. The 12-volt battery is another priority item; constant low-mileage use with short journeys rarely allows the alternator to deliver a full charge cycle, and a five-year-old original battery is likely approaching the end of its reliable service life. During a test drive, listen carefully for any clonks or knocking from the front suspension, particularly over speed humps and uneven surfaces, as perished suspension bushes or worn top mounts can develop rapidly on a vehicle that has covered only modest mileage. Inspect the brake discs visually for any heavy surface corrosion or pitting, and on the road, verify that the brakes bind or shudder under light application, which is a common symptom of seized or partially seized caliper slide mechanisms following extended standing. Finally, verify the service book stamps and confirm that time-based servicing items such as brake fluid, coolant, and the CVT or manual gearbox oil have been replaced in accordance with calendar intervals rather than purely mileage-based schedules.
