INFINITI Q602019 · 3.0L PETROL

The 2019 Infiniti Q60 is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2026-01-26 at 50,109 miles, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern in brake condition and tyre integrity. Despite passing, the tester was unable to fully inspect the front and rear brake pads in the last three consecutive tests, indicating persistent issues with brake component visibility or accessibility. The recurring pitting on both rear brake discs, noted since early 2023, suggests ongoing brake wear or possible fluid contamination, which could compromise braking performance over time. While the discs are not yet seriously weakened, continued neglect may lead to more severe damage. The vehicle’s mileage of 50,109 miles over seven years equates to approximately 7,158 miles annually, which is within the typical range for a car of this age. However, the MOT history reveals a significant gap between the 2023-01-19 failure and the next test in 2024-01-04—nearly a full year with no inspection. This delay may have allowed the tyre damage and brake issues to progress unchecked. The fact that both front tyres failed in the same test due to exposed ply or cords indicates either severe wear or improper inflation, which could point to inconsistent maintenance habits. Buyers should conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the braking system, paying close attention to the rear brake discs for signs of deep scoring or warping, and checking the front and rear brake pads for thickness and wear. The suspension should also be examined for worn bushes, coil springs, or any signs of sagging, as these are common wear points in vehicles with this mileage. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and underbody areas, should be checked for corrosion, especially given the age and potential exposure to road salt. Lastly, the tyres should be replaced immediately if any ply exposure remains, as continuing to drive on such tyres poses a serious safety risk.
