2013 Nissan Juke

CarHunch analysed 36,079 real MOT records for the 2013 Nissan Juke. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2013 Nissan Juke's first-time pass rate of 77.4% trails the UK average of 80%, and diesel versions perform noticeably worse at 74.7% compared to petrol's 78.8%—a red flag if you're considering a used diesel model. More concerning, over half of these vehicles (51.3%) have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, suggesting potential safety issues that warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.

At around 52,000 miles median mileage for an 11-year-old car, these Jukes show typical wear patterns, but they're averaging 3.11 failures per test and an unusually high 18.2 advisories, indicating they tend to accumulate minor issues steadily. Before buying, get a full diagnostic check focusing on known problem areas and budget for ongoing maintenance, particularly if you're eyeing a diesel variant.

What to check before buying a 2013 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.
  • ⚠️ 51.3% 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.
