2013 Infiniti QX70 3.0L Diesel · BD63 XCE

The most recent MOT from October 2025 resulted in a pass, but it highlighted several maintenance oversights, including a nail in a tyre, low engine oil, and a loose exhaust heat shield. These points suggest the vehicle may not have been meticulously maintained in the lead-up to its last inspection. The overall condition trend appears to be gradually worsening. While the vehicle had a clean record in 2022 after an initial failure regarding the engine management light, subsequent years have seen a steady increase in advisories. By 2024, wear was evident in the steering rack mounting bushes and play in both front lower suspension arm ball joints. With approximately 111,516 miles over 13 years, the mileage is typical for its age. This suggests the vehicle has seen regular use, which explains the expected wear on suspension components and the deterioration of the exhaust heat shields noted across multiple years. The primary mechanical risk pattern relates to the front end and chassis. The combination of worn steering rack bushes and play in the ball joints indicates that the suspension system is reaching a point where significant components may soon require replacement to maintain handling and safety. A buyer should first inspect the front suspension and steering for any current play or knocking sounds.
