INFINITI Q502017 · 2.1L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 19 September 2025 shows the car passed at 70,319 mi with no recorded defects. The day before, on 18 September 2025, the same MOT test recorded a failure centred on the rear braking system – an imbalanced rear axle, a worn off‑side rear disc and pads under 1.5 mm – and also flagged excessive wear on both rear anti‑roll‑bar linkage ball joints. The pattern that recurs in the MOT history is rear‑end wear . In 2024 the car failed because the rear tyres were close to the legal tread limit, and in 2025 it failed because of rear brake disc/pad wear and anti‑roll‑bar linkage wear. Both failures were addressed before the subsequent pass, suggesting the owner carried out the necessary repairs. Looking at the sequence – failure in October 2024, pass in March 2024, failure in September 2025, pass a day later – the trend appears stable to improving . The defects that did appear were corrected promptly, and there have been three clean passes (Mar 2024, Oct 2024, Sep 2025) with no new issues recorded. There is no evidence of a worsening problem, but the recurrence of rear‑brake and rear‑suspension items means those components should still be watched. The mileage of 70,319 mi for a 2017 model (about 7,800 mi per year) is roughly average for its age. It does not point to excessive hard use, nor does it indicate unusually low use; it simply suggests normal wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres and suspension parts.
