Is the 2013 Juke getting worse?

Pass rate of 2013-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	63.2% -11.4 vs same-age
2024	60.9% -12.2 vs same-age
2025	61.7% -10.5 vs same-age

The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

FAQs

Is a 2013 Nissan Juke reliable?

2013-registered examples passed 62.0% of their MOT tests (102,362 tests, 2023–2025), -11.4 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 13 years old with a median 77,598 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2013 Juke?

The median tested example shows 77,598 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.

Should I buy the petrol or diesel 2013 Juke?

In this cohort petrols pass 64.7% of tests against 56.2% for diesels. Mileage and use can explain part of that gap, so treat it as a reason to inspect DPF and emissions history, not a fuel-type verdict.
