2014 Infiniti QX70 3.0L Diesel · J700 DMR

The 2014 Infiniti QX70 shows a consistent roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with no major defects recorded since the most recent test on 2025-11-26 at 86,243 miles. The absence of advisories or failings in the last three tests—including the November 2025 pass—suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline standard, though the 2022 January test did identify thin rear brake pads and a corroded exhaust heat shield. These were minor issues resolved without further recurrence, implying either prompt attention or components replaced since. The most recent test’s clean pass indicates no immediate cause for concern, but the 2022 corrosion note warrants closer inspection of the underbody and exhaust system. The mileage progression of 7,187 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The intervals between tests—ranging from 8,000 to 10,000 miles—show regular servicing, though the gap between the 2022 January and December tests (9,724 miles) is slightly longer than the others. This could reflect seasonal storage or variable driving habits, but no mechanical implications are evident from the data alone. The recorded mileage at the last test (86,243) suggests the vehicle has been driven rather than neglected, though wear on high-mileage components should still be verified. A prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the rear brake system, given the 2022 advisory on thin pads—this could indicate uneven wear or binding calipers requiring attention. The corroded exhaust heat shield from the same test period should prompt inspection of the underbody for rust propagation, particularly around the rear suspension mounts and subframe. Suspension bushes and coil springs, while not directly flagged, should be checked for degradation typical of this mileage, as should the condition of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear. Tyres remain unmentioned in the record, so tread depth and lateral wear patterns must be confirmed, especially given the rear brake history. No advisories suggest electrical or emissions issues, but a recent diagnostic check for catalytic converter efficiency would be prudent given the vehicle’s age.
