For plenty of buyers, practical considerations don’t really factor into the purchase of a Nissan Juke. It’s a compact crossover with eye-catching styling, and few such combinations can elicit such a reaction from the UK car-buying public. If you like how the Juke looks, you should get one – but choose carefully now the cars are getting older and need more work to keep in good order.

There’s a chance the Juke will be a future classic, and some journalists even credit it with the stratospheric rise in popularity for the compact SUV segment in Europe – much as its larger sibling the Qashqai affected mid-sized family crossovers. There’s no denying that it feels its age now.

As such, we’d only go for a Juke if it were the cheapest, lowest mileage and best condition of the cars under consideration. That’s not much of a caveat though, as used Jukes are plentiful and good value.
