Nissan Juke (2011)
2011 Nissan Juke
CarHunch analysed 21,033 real MOT records for the 2011 Nissan Juke. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2011 Nissan Juke's 77.3% first-time pass rate trails the UK average by 2.7 percentage points, signalling slightly below-average reliability—but the real concern is that 52.1% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above what you'd expect. Petrol models fare better at 78.2% than diesels at 74.9%, so fuel type does matter if you're choosing between them.
At 65,861 miles on average, these Jukes are running higher mileage than typical for their age, which partly explains the elevated failure count of 3.64 per vehicle. The 22.8 advisories per car signal persistent wear items—suspension, exhaust, and trim issues are common—so budget for maintenance and always get a pre-purchase inspection, paying special attention to the suspension and undercarriage given the dangerous defect prevalence.
Petrol vs Diesel
Pass rate difference of 3.3 percentage points — worth knowing if you're choosing between the two.
What to check before buying a 2011 Nissan Juke
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.
- ⚠️ 52.1% of these vehicles have had a dangerous defect recorded. Enter the reg below — the full MOT history will show exactly what was flagged and whether it was resolved.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
