Nissan Juke 1.0 DIG-T

2019-2024

£287/mo to run at 19

£189 insurance + £17 tax + £76 fuel + £5 MOT = £287/mo to keep — excludes servicing

Plus the car itself: £12,196 upfront (typical).

About £3,441 a year to keep on the road.

Insurance likely £1,481£3,075/yr. London-based estimate — your area could be higher or lower. Fuel at 6,500 miles/yr, £1.51/L, DESNZ Jul 2026.

Heads-up: Market update (27 July 2026): two major insurer groups — including the cheapest black-box provider in most of our data — left the comparison panel we calibrate against, and cheapest quotes for young drivers rose roughly 50%. Our estimates now track this new, higher market. If those insurers return, real quotes could come in below the range shown — get a real quote before you budget.

Indicative estimate from public data for a black-box policy — not a quote.

Cost by age

Figures above are shown for a 19-year-old — pick your age below for the full breakdown.

The next few years

At 20 this falls to about £1,369–£2,843/yr, at 21 about £1,266–£2,630, at 22 about £1,221–£2,537.

Budget-planning estimates, not quotes — age effect only; a clean record and no-claims discount would lower this further; we don't model NCB. London-based estimate — your area could be higher or lower.

Why this one: 5-star Euro NCAP (tested 2019) · £12,196 to buy — an outright purchase, nothing financed · £287/mo to keep on the road — costed from insurance, tax, fuel and MOT, nothing hidden

Worth knowing: 49 mpg — thirstier than most cars here

Before you buy it

  • Check its MOT history on gov.uk — free — pass/fail history, recorded mileage and advisories by registration.
  • An HPI/write-off check is also worth doing before you commit — a paid check that flags outstanding finance, write-offs and stolen-vehicle markers.

When you go to view it

  • Service history & receipts
  • V5C logbook matches the seller and the VIN
  • MOT history checked on gov.uk
  • Start it cold
  • Tyres (tread + even wear, spare/kit present)
  • Panel gaps & paint mismatches
  • Every electric switch & warning light
  • Test drive — brakes straight, clutch bites, no pulling

When to get quotes

Quotes are cheapest about 21–26 days before your cover starts — “if you can, get quotes about three weeks before you need cover” (MoneySavingExpert).

Figures checked July 2026

How we work these figures out

Insurance estimates are expected annual premiums for a new driver on a comprehensive, black-box (under-22) policy in London, calibrated against published young-driver premium datasets. The low–high range reflects how much real quotes vary from person to person. Running costs assume 6,500 miles/yr at £1.51/L, DESNZ Jul 2026 and the standard MOT fee; servicing is excluded.

Without a black box, closer to £3,554/yr — about 56% more to insure at 19. Most under-25s get their cheapest cover with a box; if you won't fit one, budget for the higher number.

These are estimates based on public data, not quotes, and Vouched does not give insurance advice. When you're ready to buy, we introduce you to authorised providers for a real quote.
