Nissan Juke (2010-19)

COMMON FAULTS
Please Note: Common Faults in Regularly Used Vehicles vs. Low-Mileage Stored Vehicles that have been used consistently over many years, accumulating approximately 10,000–12,000 miles annually, are more prone to common faults due to regular wear and tear. These issues typically arise from the natural aging of components subjected to frequent use, such as engine parts, suspension systems, brakes, and tires. In contrast, vehicles with low mileage that have been stored or preserved are likely to experience different types of issues. These vehicles are often better maintained to ensure their longevity and may avoid some of the typical wear-and-tear problems seen in regularly driven cars. However, they can still face unique challenges such as degradation of rubber seals, corrosion from prolonged inactivity, or fuel system issues caused by old or stagnant fuel.

The **Nissan Juke Mark 1 (2010–2019)** has a few common issues that owners have reported over the years. Here are some of the most notable ones:

- **CVT Transmission Issues** – The **continuously variable transmission (CVT)** in some models has been known to suffer from **shuddering, jerking, and hesitation** during acceleration. In severe cases, complete transmission failure has occurred, requiring costly repairs or replacements.
- **Turbocharger Problems** – Some **turbocharged models** have experienced **loss of power, whining noises, and excessive smoke** from the exhaust, often due to **blocked oil feeds** - Haynes Publishing](https://haynes.com/en-gb/tips-tutorials/nissan-juke-mk1-common-problems-2010-2019).
- **Timing Chain Wear** – Early models, especially those with the **1.2 DIG-T engine**, have been known to suffer from **loose timing chains**, leading to **rattling noises and poor performance** - Haynes Publishing](https://haynes.com/en-gb/tips-tutorials/nissan-juke-mk1-common-problems-2010-2019).
- **Premature Clutch Wear** – Manual transmission models sometimes experience **clutch slipping and difficulty changing gears**, often requiring early replacement.
- **Fuel Pressure Sensor Issues** – Some models have had **loose fuel pressure sensors**, which can cause **fuel leaks and poor engine performance** - Haynes Publishing](https://haynes.com/en-gb/tips-tutorials/nissan-juke-mk1-common-problems-2010-2019).
- **Brake Pad Wear** – Owners have reported **premature brake pad wear**, requiring more frequent replacements than expected.
- **Electrical Problems** – Some Juke models have suffered from **battery drain issues**, faulty **power windows, door locks, and air conditioning systems**, often traced back to wiring faults.
