2015 Infiniti Q50 3.5L Petrol · BF65 VLM

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 20 February 2026 returned a clean PASSED at 79,835 miles, with only cosmetic windscreen damage and nearside front tyre wear flagged as advisories. This represents a stable maintenance trend, as the car successfully passed its most recent examination. However, the test record reveals a concerning pattern of recurring brake and suspension issues. In the February 2024 test, the rear brakes were flagged as thin, followed by failing twice in February and February 2026 due to worn front inner and rear brake pads. This indicates a persistent brake system issue that requires immediate attention. Additionally, the February 2024 test flagged worn suspension bushes, which reappeared in the February 2026 failure. The combination of failing brake components and deteriorating suspension suggests that previous owners prioritised cosmetic repairs over addressing fundamental mechanical wear. The low annual mileage of approximately 7,258 miles per year over 11 years is typical, but the repeated failures imply neglect of critical safety systems. A potential buyer should arrange a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection to verify the condition of the brake pads, suspension bushes, and brake calipers to ensure they are not binding or seized. Additionally, inspect the windscreen damage and confirm that the registration plate lamp is functioning correctly.
