2014 Nissan Juke 1.5L Diesel · YY63 WVR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 58,820 miles, this followed a significant failure just one day prior involving multiple mechanical and safety defects. The trend shows that critical components, such as the suspension and drive shafts, were allowed to deteriorate until they reached the point of legal failure, suggesting the previous owner only addressed faults when forced to do so by the MOT testing process. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 58,820 miles represents a low average of approximately 4,900 miles per year. This low usage profile often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, which is evident in this record. The data shows a consistent interval of roughly 3,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating steady but infrequent use. However, the presence of perished tyres and deteriorated CV boots in 2024 suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, age-related wear despite the low total mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and drivetrain assembly. The July 2025 failure highlighted a fractured offside front coil spring and corroded shock absorber casings, while previous tests noted worn anti-roll bar ball joints and deteriorating CV boots. The CV boots have been flagged as severely deteriorated in both 2024 and 2025, requiring verification that these were actually replaced to prevent expensive joint failure. Additionally, the rear brake discs were noted as pitted and scored, which is common on low-mileage cars where brakes suffer from oxidation. Special attention should be paid to the offside front seat belt webbing, which was flagged as damaged or frayed in July 2025. This is a safety item that requires replacement. The history of undetected peak exhaust emissions in 2023 also indicates potential issues with fuel mixture or sensor health that should be monitored. Given the recurring nature of the suspension faults, the buyer should check the condition of all rubber bushes and boots for signs of further cracking or tearing.
