Nissan Juke Mk1 (2010–2019): what fails at MOT
Across 274,297 MOT tests of the Nissan Juke Mk1 (2010–2019) in the DfT's 2023 MOT data (initial tests, retests excluded), 30.8% failed — about 1 in 3. The parts that fail most are suspension (12.1% of tests), wipers, windscreen and mirrors (7.3%), brakes (7.1%), lights and electrics (6.6%) and tyres (6.0%).
Allowing for age and mileage, the Juke Mk1 has 24% more MOT failures than the average car of the same age and mileage. That puts it last of the two Nissan Juke generations on MOT results; the Juke Mk2 (2019–2025) does best.
The MOT checks safety and emissions items — brakes, suspension, steering, lights, tyres, body structure and exhaust emissions. It does not test engines, gearboxes or most electronics, so those faults only show up here when they cause an emissions failure or a leak.
