INFINITI QX702016 · 3.0L DIESEL

Most recent MOT (07 April 2026) – The car passed the test at 134,220 mi with no defects recorded. This indicates that, at the time of the latest inspection, the vehicle met the basic safety and emissions standards. Pattern of past findings – The only recorded issues were minor and non‑structural: in 2023 the outer skin of the centre exhaust and the rear exhaust silencer showed deterioration and internal rattling, and in 2022 the TPMS warning lamp lit for low tyre pressure. Both items are typical wear items rather than serious safety faults, and they have not re‑appeared in subsequent MOTs. Trend assessment – The MOT record shows a clear improvement: after the 2023 exhaust notes, the 2024, 2025 and 2026 tests were completely clean. This suggests that any corrosion or rattling was either repaired or has not progressed to a level that triggers a defect. The trend is therefore stable to improving, provided the owner has kept up with routine maintenance. Mileage versus age – At roughly 13,400 mi per year, the QX70 has been driven more than the average for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. Higher mileage generally means greater wear on consumables such as brakes, suspension bushings, CV joints and the drivetrain. However, the MOT history does not reveal any failures in those areas, so the wear may be within acceptable limits.
