Other Faults on This Variant

Turbocharger Failure

Severe

2013-201960,000–120,000 miles£650–£1000

The turbocharged 1.6 DIG-T Juke is fun but the turbo is stressed by the engine's high output. Turbo failures from oil starvation and bearing wear are a known issue.

CVT Gearbox Failure and Shudder

Severe

2013-201960,000–130,000 miles£150–£4000

The CVT automatic gearbox on the Juke DIG-T is known for shudder and failure. Fluid degradation is the root cause — the CVT fluid must be changed every 30,000 miles.
