2018 Nissan Juke Tekna DCI

CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2018 Nissan Juke Tekna DCI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2018 Nissan Juke Tekna DCI sits bang on the UK average with an 80.5% first-time pass rate, and reassuringly, none of the 131 vehicles analysed have ever recorded a dangerous defect. The diesel engine appears solid—there's no reliability red flag here for a buyer.

At 46,251 miles median, these cars are running low for their age, which explains the minimal failure rate of just 0.14 per vehicle and zero advisories; you're looking at a well-maintained cohort rather than proof of inherent durability. Check the full service history and have a pre-purchase inspection focus on the diesel injection system, where early problems would likely show up.

What to check before buying a 2018 Nissan Juke Tekna 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.
