2015 Infiniti Q70 2.1L Diesel · NJ15 OKT

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance record indicates a stable trend of developing suspension-related wear. The most recent test in April 2026 at 77,325 miles identified slight play in the rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joints and noted a persistent oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber. These issues are recurring, having appeared in the 2024 test at 62,206 miles, suggesting that these components are gradually degrading without being replaced during previous service intervals. At 77,325 miles over eleven years, the car has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-to-mid-range usage patterns. The mileage data shows consistent annual progression, with roughly 7,400 miles covered between the 2025 and 2026 tests. The low annual mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy motorway stress, but the presence of oil misting on the shock absorber after two years of the initial 2025 observation indicates that periods of standing can lead to rubber seals drying out despite the low distance driven. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly to determine if the play in the anti-roll bar linkages has progressed beyond a minor advisory. The persistent misting on the nearside rear shock absorber requires close scrutiny, as misting often precedes a total seal failure and loss of damping efficiency. Additionally, the history of tyre sidewall damage in 2022 and 2025 necessitates a check of the current set of tyres for structural bulges or impact damage that the tester missed in the most recent inspection.
