2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · L888 KLT

The 2015 INFINITI Q50 currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a clean pass in May 2026 at 16,994 miles, indicating a stable and resolving maintenance trend after previous remedial work. The most recent inspection recorded zero defects, demonstrating that the owner addressed the mechanical and consumable failures identified during the prior testing cycle. This recent clean bill of health confirms the vehicle meets minimum statutory roadworthiness standards without any lingering advisory notes. Covering just 16,994 miles over an eleven-year lifespan equates to an average of 1,545 miles annually, which is exceptionally low for a modern executive saloon. The mileage accumulation remains steady and proportional, increasing by roughly 1,900 miles between the May 2024 and June 2025 tests, and another 1,928 miles leading up to the May 2026 assessment. Such minimal use often results in prolonged standing periods, which directly accelerates the degradation of rubber components and can cause brake discs to corrode or calipers to bind. The historical record highlights a clear pattern of deferred consumable maintenance typical of low-mileage vehicles. In June 2025 at 15,066 miles, the tester failed the car due to excessively twisted front brake hoses and flagged all four original 2015-dated tyres for perishing and cracking. While the subsequent clean pass in 2026 implies these critical safety items were replaced, a buyer must physically verify the date codes on the current tyres and inspect the front brake hose routing to ensure the replacement parts were installed correctly without twisting. The May 2024 advisory for thin nearside rear brake pads further suggests the car sat unused for long intervals. A thorough physical inspection should focus on checking the brake discs for deep corrosion pitting and ensuring the suspension bushes have not dried out or split from prolonged inactivity.
