The 2017 Nissan Juke is more reliable than average, with an 86.8% first-time pass rate against the UK's 80%, though a concerning 26% of these vehicles have recorded a dangerous defect at some point—significantly higher than typical. Petrol models perform slightly better at 87.4% pass rate compared to diesel at 85.2%, suggesting the petrol engine is the safer bet for long-term ownership.
At 34,309 miles median, these Jukes are running low mileage for their age, which partly explains the solid pass rates, but the 7.3 average advisories per vehicle signals that small niggles are common—suspension, trim, and minor electrical issues crop up regularly.
