2022 Nissan Juke — MOT failures & pass rate
18,764 MOT tests on the 2022 Nissan Juke are in this dataset, and 95.0% of them passed. Against small SUVs of a similar age (6.6% fail rate), the 2022 Juke comes out 1.6pp better. Failures cluster in tyres, visibility and lighting & signalling.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (3.0%) and visibility (1.7%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are wipers, headlamp aim and tread depth — wipers alone was recorded 266 times.
Mileage is the strongest signal on the record: 4.1% of 0-30k cars fail, rising to 8.1% once past 60-90k.
Split by fuel, petrol examples fail 1.6pp more often than hybrid ones (5.3% vs 3.7%) — worth weighing if you have a choice.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 15.1% of tests without failing them.

What to check before buying a 2022 Juke
On a 2022 Juke, tyres is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 3.0% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Tyres (3.0% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Visibility (1.7% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
- Lighting & signalling (1.2% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
