Nissan Juke (2020)
2020 Nissan Juke
CarHunch analysed 147 real MOT records for the 2020 Nissan Juke. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Nissan Juke is a genuinely reliable proposition, with a 91.9% first-time pass rate that sits well clear of the UK average of 80%. Only 8.8% have ever picked up a dangerous defect, which is reassuringly low and suggests this generation is fundamentally sound.
At just under 24,000 miles median mileage, these Jukes are still relatively young and low-mileage examples, which explains the strong pass rate. The average of 0.29 failures and 1.7 advisories per vehicle indicates minor wear items are the typical concern rather than serious faults—if you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection to flag any advisory issues early and budget for routine maintenance, but don't expect major structural problems.
What to check before buying a 2020 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.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
