2015 Infiniti Q50 3.5L Petrol · H7 KRO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2026-02-21 with no recorded defects at 105,487 miles. This marks a clear improvement over the previous test cycle, which included both a failure and an advisory concerning suspension and tyres. The absence of any advisories or failures in the latest inspection suggests that prior issues—particularly the worn tyres and suspect suspension joint—were addressed, indicating a positive maintenance trend in the last 12 months. Annual mileage has remained consistent with typical usage for an 11-year-old car, averaging around 9,600 miles per year. Between the January 2023 and January 2025 tests, the vehicle accumulated roughly 18,400 miles over two years, aligning with expected wear patterns. A more concentrated increase occurred between January and February 2024, where mileage remained static across two tests just one week apart—likely reflecting a retest after initial failure. No unusual gaps or spikes in usage are evident, and the odometer progression appears logical and steady. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the front suspension components, particularly the offside lower control arm ball joints, which were flagged in both the failed January 2024 test and the passed test later that same month, then again in January 2025. Though not cited in the most recent MOT, such recurring advisories often signal early-stage wear that may soon require replacement. Additionally, the history of multiple tyre defects—including tread depth violations, sidewall damage, and uneven wear—suggests potential underlying issues with alignment, suspension geometry, or general upkeep that warrant a thorough inspection of wheel alignment, brake condition, and steering components. Given the age and mileage, it would also be prudent to examine the condition of brake discs, pads, and calipers for signs of binding or corrosion, as well as check for any emerging structural corrosion, especially around suspension mounting points and subframes. While the latest MOT shows no concerns, the prior pattern of suspension and tyre faults indicates that diligent pre-purchase scrutiny of these systems is essential to confirm ongoing reliability and safety.
