INFINITI Q302017 · 2.1L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 22 May 2026 was a clean pass at 52,403 miles with no defects recorded. The only recurring issue in the history is the rear‑tyre condition. In July 2025 both the nearside and offside rear tyres were flagged as “slightly damaged/cracking or perishing”. The same tyre notes appeared on the failure that day, but no tyre defects were recorded at the 2024 and 2023 tests. The front‑headlamp aim problem that caused the 2025 failure has been resolved, as it was not listed on the 2026 pass. Overall the trend is improving: a single failure in 2025 was followed by three consecutive passes, the latest of which shows no outstanding faults. The tyre warnings, however, suggest a potential repeat problem that should be watched. At 52,403 miles the car is well below the average annual mileage for a nine‑year‑old (about 5,800 mi/yr). This low figure could mean the vehicle has been lightly driven, but it may also indicate long periods of inactivity, which can lead to age‑related wear in rubber, suspension and engine seals despite the low mileage. First‑hand checks should focus on the rear tyres – examine tread depth, sidewall cracks and overall condition – and verify that the headlamps are correctly aimed.
