What to check before buying a 2020 Juke Acenta Dig-T S-A

Before buying a 2020 Nissan Juke Acenta Dig-T S-A, focus on the areas it most often fails on. Visibility accounted for 6.3% of tests for this year.

Visibility (6.3% 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.
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.
Brakes (2.3% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
