Nissan Juke N Connecta DCI (2018)
2018 Nissan Juke N Connecta DCI
CarHunch analysed 114 real MOT records for the 2018 Nissan Juke N Connecta DCI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2018 Nissan Juke N-Connecta DCI has a first-time pass rate of 70.5%, which is 9.5 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests owners should budget for more frequent repairs. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, and the average vehicle has only 0.12 failures per test, so the issues tend to be minor rather than safety-critical.
The median mileage of 47,879 miles is reasonable for a six-year-old car, indicating these examples haven't been thrashed, yet the below-average pass rate suggests durability or maintenance problems rather than abuse. Before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection to identify why these diesels are struggling at MOT, and factor in that you're statistically more likely to need work done than with a typical car of this age.
What to check before buying a 2018 Nissan Juke N Connecta DCI
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
