2013 Infiniti QX70 3.0L Diesel · AG11 LOO

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness certificate following the January 2024 test, yet the maintenance trend reveals a sudden dip in basic upkeep after years of clean passes. The most recent inspection at 128,123 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a non-functioning nearside front position lamp and an inoperative registration plate light, issues the owner rectified immediately to secure a pass. This contrasts sharply with the flawless records from August 2019 and February 2022, suggesting the previous custodian neglected minor electrical consumables towards the end of their ownership rather than addressing deep-seated mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with the vehicle's thirteen-year lifespan, averaging roughly 9,856 miles annually without any suspicious gaps or rapid spikes. The odometer read 98,794 miles in August 2019 and climbed to 109,200 by November 2020, indicating steady use during that period. A further increase to 117,137 miles in February 2022 and the current 128,123 miles in January 2024 confirms a regular driving pattern. This steady progression implies the car avoided long periods of static storage that often accelerate corrosion in older SUVs, though the lack of tests between late 2024 and mid-2026 means the current mechanical state relies entirely on that two-year-old data point. Buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the lighting loom and bulb housings, as the recurring lamp failures in early 2024 point to potential wiring degradation or poor previous repairs. While the 2020 tyre wear advisory has not recurred, the high mileage now demands a thorough check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, components likely approaching their service limits given the distance covered since the last clean bill of health in 2022. The absence of structural corrosion advisories in the history is positive, but the age of the chassis warrants a close look for rust around the subframe mounting points before purchase.
