Description
Some cars wear their newness like a badge; this Juke wears it like it's barely been unwrapped. At just 2,800 miles, this is about as close to driving a brand-new Juke as you'll get without paying showroom prices — and with the hard work of running it in already done for you.
Nissan's quirky crossover has matured nicely into its third generation, and the Tekna+ trim sits right at the top of the tree. That means you're not scrimping on toys: expect leather (or leather-look) heated seats, a Bose sound system, a crisp digital instrument cluster, and enough driver assistance tech to make motorway miles feel genuinely relaxed rather than remotely stressful.
Under the bonnet, the 1.0-litre DIG-T turbo triple punches well above its weight — 114 PS is plenty for a car this size, and paired with the seven-speed DCT automatic gearbox, progress is smooth, unhurried, and refreshingly free of the jerkiness some small-capacity turbo-autos suffer from. It's a genuinely relaxing car to drive in town, yet has enough puff for A-roads and motorway slip-roads without drama.
That striking Blue paintwork suits the Juke's love-it-or-loathe-it styling rather well — this is a car that's always been more fashion statement than shrinking violet, and the colour only adds to the personality.
Euro 6 compliant and ULEZ-exempt, it's as usable in town centres as it is out on the open road, with running costs that should stay firmly on the sensible side thanks to that efficient three-cylinder engine.
One owner from new, mileage that barely registers, and a spec sheet that reads like a wish list — this is a Juke that lets you skip the depreciation hit of a factory-fresh car while still feeling like you've just driven it off the forecourt.
