Used Nissan Juke Differential

The Nissan Juke ran as a single generation from 2010 to 2019, with a facelift in 2014, so both years sit within the same overall generation but on opposite sides of that facelift boundary. Fitment depends primarily on your engine code and whether the car is two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, as the 4WD rear differential is a completely different unit to anything on a 2WD car. Because ancillary and mounting details can change across the 2014 facelift, confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration before ordering.

Trim level — whether Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta, Tekna, or Nismo — does not affect differential fitment; what matters is the engine code, fuel type, and drivetrain (2WD or 4WD). A Tekna and a Visia built to the same spec will use the same differential, so do not pay a premium chasing a specific trim. Supply your engine code and registration to the breaker so they can match the correct unit.

The Juke was offered in both front-wheel-drive (2WD) and four-wheel-drive layouts; the 4WD version has a rear differential unit that the 2WD model does not have at all, so getting this wrong means the part will not fit. Check your V5 logbook, a VIN check, or look under the rear of the car — if there is no rear differential housing or propshaft, you have a 2WD. Always tell the breaker which drivetrain you have alongside your engine code to get the right unit.

The engine code is the single most important detail for differential fitment, sitting above model year or trim in terms of what the breaker needs to match the part correctly. On the Juke you will find it on your V5 certificate or through a VIN check, and common UK units include the HR16DE petrol and MR16DDT turbocharged petrol, as well as K9K diesel variants. Give the breaker your full engine code, gearbox type (manual or automatic/CVT), and whether the car is 2WD or 4WD for the most accurate match.

The 2014 facelift is a recognised production boundary for the Juke, and while the fundamental drivetrain architecture remained similar across the generation, ancillary and mounting changes mid-production mean you should not assume a pre-facelift differential drops straight in to a post-facelift car. The safest approach is to match engine code, gearbox type, and drivetrain layout, then confirm cross-boundary compatibility with the breaker against both registrations. Never assume year-to-year interchangeability across a facelift without the breaker verifying it.

No — the gearbox type directly affects the differential specification, and a unit from a manual car will not be the correct match for a CVT or automatic-equipped Juke. The Juke was sold with manual, CVT, and in some 4WD variants additional automatic transfer arrangements, so gearbox type is one of the key details alongside engine code when sourcing a used differential. Tell the breaker your exact gearbox type as well as your engine code to avoid an incompatible unit being supplied.
