Is the 2018 Juke getting worse?

Pass rate of 2018-registered cars across recent test years:

Test year	Pass rate
2023	89.1% +1.0 vs same-age
2024	87.4% +1.2 vs same-age
2025	84.8% +0.1 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 2018 Nissan Juke reliable?

2018-registered examples passed 87.1% of their MOT tests (70,340 tests, 2023–2025), +0.8 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 8 years old with a median 36,578 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.

What mileage is too high for a 2018 Juke?

The median tested example shows 36,578 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.
