2014 Nissan Juke N Tec DCI

CarHunch analysed 175 real MOT records for the 2014 Nissan Juke N Tec DCI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2014 Nissan Juke N-TEC DCI has a first-time MOT pass rate of 66%, which is notably 14 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, signalling below-average reliability for its age and mileage. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort entirely, so safety isn't a concern—but the 0.92 average failures per vehicle suggests you'll encounter regular mechanical issues.

At a median mileage of 72,719 miles for a ten-year-old car, these Jukes have been driven a reasonable amount without standing idle, yet they're still racking up nearly one failure per MOT test. Before buying, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel engine and emissions systems, as these are clearly where the weaknesses lie in this generation.

What to check before buying a 2014 Nissan Juke N Tec 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.
