INFINITI Q502017 · 2.1L Diesel

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2023-06-06, which was passed with no defects recorded. This indicates that the car has been kept in a condition compliant with UK road safety standards at the time of inspection. The absence of issues in the latest test suggests that any prior concerns have been addressed, and the vehicle is currently fit for use. The recorded mileage of 36,701 miles over nine years equates to an average of approximately 4,078 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. This consistent, minimal usage pattern implies that the car has likely been driven infrequently, possibly stored for extended periods or used primarily for short trips. The MOT history shows a clean record from June 2023 onward, with no new defects reported, and only a single gap between tests in May and June 2023, which is within acceptable limits. The lack of recent MOT entries beyond 2023 may reflect a change in ownership or usage, but the data available suggests no deterioration in mechanical condition. Despite the low mileage, recurring issues in earlier MOTs highlight areas requiring close inspection. The 2021 and 2020 tests flagged thin front and rear brake pads, indicating potential brake system wear that may have been deferred. The 2022 MOT noted cracking on both front tyres, a condition that can worsen rapidly if not replaced. Buyers should inspect the brake pads and rotors for excessive wear, especially on the rear, and check for any binding calipers or corrosion. Tyre condition should be assessed thoroughly, as cracking compromises safety. Suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, should also be examined for signs of sagging or wear, which can result from long-term inactivity. Structural integrity, including rust on the underbody and wheel arches, should be checked, as infrequent use can allow moisture to accumulate and cause hidden corrosion.
