2018 Infiniti Q60 2.0L Petrol · BW18 CGU

This vehicle holds a current valid MOT following the December 2025 test at 38,840 miles. Although the result remains pass, the history reveals a persistent degradation in the rear braking system rather than stable maintenance. Advisories regarding pitted rear brake discs appeared consecutively from late 2023 through to the most recent inspection. New concerns emerged in the final test with slight play detected in both rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. This progression suggests deferred maintenance on suspension and braking components rather than active neglect of critical safety failures. The December 2024 record highlights a temporary failure caused by ply-exposed cuts on the rear tyres alongside the brake disc condition, indicating the vehicle required urgent attention during that year. Recorded mileage sits at 38,840 miles against an eight-year age profile, averaging roughly 4,855 miles per annum. Annual testing records remain consistent without significant gaps between December 2022 and December 2025. Such low annual usage often indicates long periods of standing which can accelerate rubber degradation despite lower engine hours. The jump from 35,481 miles in December 2024 to 38,840 miles by December 2025 represents normal usage for this interval. However, the accumulation of wear on static components like seals and bushings may be disproportionate to the odometer reading. A physical inspection must prioritise the rear brake discs given their repeated advisory status across three consecutive years. Surface corrosion on the friction face often compromises stopping power even if thickness remains within limits. The slight play identified in the rear anti-roll bar linkages warrants immediate measurement of the suspension bushes and mounting points for wear. Previous failures involving ply-exposed cuts on the rear tyres indicate potential storage conditions or impact damage that requires verifying the remaining tread depth and sidewall integrity on all four wheels.
