2014 Infiniti QX70 3.0L Diesel · LT64 JWE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in preventative care. While it passed the most recent February 2026 test at 91,994 miles, the tester identified multiple defects that were absent in the previous 2025 inspection. The appearance of thin front brake pads, pitted and scored inner brake discs, and all four tyres reaching the legal limit indicates that significant service-related maintenance has been neglected over the last year. This shift suggests that the current owner is likely delaying repairs until an MOT failure occurs. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between February 2024 (84,115 miles) and February 2026 (91,994 miles), the car covered 7,879 miles, maintaining a steady rate of use. The one-year gap between the 2025 test at 89,561 miles shows a period of clean operation, though this stands in stark contrast to the accumulation of wear noted in the subsequent test. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and fluid lines. The record shows a persistent issue with corroded nearside and offside front brake pipes dating back to at least 2022. These pipes are noted as being covered in grease, which suggests a slow leak or intentional masking that could hide structural failure of the metal lines. Additionally, the recurring reports of perishing tyres in 2022 and edge wear in 2026 point to a need to check wheel alignment and suspension bushings for excessive play causing uneven tyre degradation.
