2014 Infiniti QX70 3.0L Diesel · LT64 JWO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. The most recent test in September 2025 at 107,988 miles resulted in a pass only after addressing multiple failures related to lighting and tyre condition. The recurring failure of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) in both September 2024 and 2025 suggests a persistent electrical or sensor-related issue that was not fully resolved between tests, which points to a potential oversight in the engine management system. At 107,988 miles over twelve years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a luxury SUV of this age. The mileage data shows consistent usage, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 7,700 miles covered in the year leading to the latest test. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not sat idle for long periods, but the high total mileage places significant expected wear on heavy-duty components such as the air suspension and drivetrain bushings. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the engine management system to ensure the recurring MIL failure is not masking a deeper mechanical or emissions fault. The 2025 failure regarding all four tyres being worn to the legal limit with uneven edges indicates a neglect of basic consumable maintenance until the MOT forced an action. Given the age and mileage, a thorough physical check of the structural integrity of the control arms and the condition of the brake calipers is essential, as these are common points of failure for this model at this distance interval.
