2013 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · VO63 CCN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the car passed its February 2026 test at 167,354 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior due to multiple mechanical defects. The recent failure highlighted significant suspension wear, including excessively worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and a binding nearside rear service brake. The persistence of the offside front wheel bearing from 2025 through 2026 indicates that this component was not addressed immediately despite previous advisories. At 167,354 miles over 13 years, this Infiniti has covered significantly more ground than average, averaging approximately 12,800 miles per year. The data shows a notable burst of activity between February 2025 and February 2026, where the vehicle clocked over 26,000 miles in a single year. This high level of usage places considerable strain on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The recurring failures regarding the rear registration plate and various indicators suggest the vehicle is used in harsh environments where minor cosmetic and electrical faults are overlooked until they fail inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, specifically checking for play in the anti-roll bar links and wheel bearings which have shown signs of degradation. The braking system requires a close look for seized calipers or sticking, as the nearside rear brake was flagged as binding in the most recent failed test. Given the high mileage and the history of low coolant and oil levels noted in early 2026, verifying the service history is essential to ensure the engine has not suffered from thermal stress or internal wear.
