Reliability, common problems and owner reviews for the Nissan Juke II 1.0 DIG-T (HR10DDT). Check this before you buy used.

The 1.0 DIG-T (HR10 three-cylinder turbo — from the Renault-Nissan alliance, related to the engines in the Clio/Captur) is the volume Juke II engine and a willing, economical unit. It's chain-driven and direct-injection turbocharged, so the cautions are the modern norm: intake-valve carbon over time, turbo/PCV care, some oil-consumption to monitor, and the 7-speed DCT dual-clutch (where fitted) wanting fluid discipline. A serviced car on clean oil with a healthy DCT is dependable; the manual avoids the gearbox worry. Buy on oil and (DCT) gearbox history.
