What to Look For When Buying

Before buying any Nissan Juke, always:

  1. Run a RegWize check to verify the mileage is consistent across MOT records
  2. Review the full MOT history for recurring failure patterns (especially the issues above)
  3. Get a Vehicle History Check to confirm it isn't a write-off, stolen, or on outstanding finance
  4. Commission an independent mechanical inspection for cars over 5 years old
  5. Check it isn't on a SORN or marked for export
