2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · BX15 VMP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 45,723 miles passed, the advisory for a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit suggests deferred maintenance. This follows a pattern seen in previous years where components were only addressed once they approached the point of failure rather than being replaced during routine service intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,157 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps in usage, such as the 11,000 miles driven between November 2022 and December 2024, compared to only 5,000 miles recorded between the 2021 and 2022 tests. This pattern suggests the car likely sat stationary for long periods, which in low-mileage vehicles can leads to degradation of rubber-based components and seizing of brake calipers despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment specifically due to the recurring uneven edge wear on tyres noted in 2023 and 2025. This often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking settings that require adjustment. Additionally, the brake system showed signs of thin pads on all axles in December 2024, so the discs should be checked for deep surface corrosion or pitting resulting from periods of inactivity. Given the low annual mileage, a physical check for perished rubber hoses and fluid de-contamination is also essential to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from age-related degradation.
