2015 Infiniti QX70 3.0L Diesel · J5 MAU

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-02 shows a failed test with multiple issues, including non-functional front and rear position lamps, a near-limit tyre wear, an oil leak, and a corroded exhaust component. A separate passed MOT on the same date recorded similar minor defects, suggesting some issues may have been addressed but others persist. This indicates inconsistent maintenance or unresolved underlying problems. Recurring mechanical patterns include oil leaks (not excessive but persistent since 2024), exhaust corrosion (noted in 2024 and 2025), and electrical faults (rear fog lamp and position lamp failures in 2024 and 2025). Tyre wear near legal limits and a loose anti-roll bar joint also appear. These issues suggest gradual deterioration rather than sudden failure, with no major safety risks identified but ongoing maintenance needs. The trend shows no clear worsening or improvement. Defects have remained consistent over 18 months, with no new critical issues emerging. However, the persistence of electrical and corrosion-related faults implies potential neglect or exposure to harsh conditions. The vehicle’s mileage (11,138 miles/year) aligns with typical usage for its age, so wear is expected but not extreme.
