2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · VX65 AUY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent pass on 17 July 2026 at 78,034 miles. While the car passed the test, the inspector flagged worn anti-roll bar pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside rear. This follows a previous advisory in July 2024 at 64,413 miles regarding slight play in the rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. This indicates a progressive degradation of the rear suspension components that has not yet reached a failure threshold but shows a clear trend of wear. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 19,861 miles in November 2018 to the current 78,034 miles. There are no significant gaps in usage or periods of prolonged inactivity suggested by the data. The vehicle has maintained a predictable driving pattern, which generally supports more consistent wear on mechanical components compared to vehicles subject to extreme seasonal use or long periods of standing. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension assembly to assess the extent of the bushing wear noted in the latest test. The history also reveals a recurring pattern of tyre management issues. The tester flagged tyres worn to the legal limit or damaged sidewalls in November 2022, November 2021, July 2025, and November 2019. This suggests the previous owners may have deferred tyre replacements until they reached the legal minimum, which can impact handling and safety. Brake maintenance also requires scrutiny. The record shows front brake pads wearing thin in both July 2024 and November 2019. Given the recent passing of the MOT, the current braking system appears functional, but the history of thin pads and a limited parking brake reserve noted in November 2022 suggests the braking components and the handbrake mechanism should be thoroughly checked for service life and adjustment.
