2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · NJ15 OKM

The overall roadworthiness status is currently failing, as the 2022 MOT test marked a failure at 177,305 miles, indicating a critical structural or mechanical hazard that has not been resolved. The maintenance history reveals a deteriorating trend, with the most recent failure occurring shortly before the current date, suggesting that the vehicle's condition has worsened since the last inspection. This rapid progression in failure rates points to a lack of proactive upkeep, where minor consumable wear such as worn brake pads and tires is being ignored without immediate replacement. The mileage pattern is characterized by significant accumulation, with the vehicle accumulating roughly 16,119 miles annually. Given that the vehicle is approximately 11 years old, this rate is exceptionally high for a used car, which implies that the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems are experiencing severe cumulative wear. The data shows no gaps in mileage, meaning the vehicle has been driven continuously over a long period, leaving no opportunity for the owner to address wear on components like brake discs or suspension bushings before they reach critical failure points. Given the recurring faults and the structural risks identified, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify specific issues such as corrosion on exhaust components, binding rear brakes, or structural integrity problems. The history indicates that while the brakes have been inspected, they may still be in a compromised state due to the thinness of the pads and the obvious wear on the discs. A thorough physical inspection is required to assess the condition of suspension components, wheel bearings, and the overall mechanical integrity, as the vehicle's history suggests that routine maintenance has been skipped, leading to the accumulation of wear that is currently causing the MOT to fail.
