Common Nissan Juke faults
These are the failure points Carleeta’s known-faults engine checks for on every Nissan Juke report — curated from owner and workshop reports, not guesswork. Use them as an inspection checklist and a negotiation lever, not a certainty: an unlisted fault doesn’t mean a clean car, and a listed one doesn’t mean this exact car has it.
