2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · NJ15 OKV

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently in good shape, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2025-07-01, which passed at 101,742 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no evidence of a consistent worsening pattern since the previous inspection, though the history contains several specific failures that must be addressed. The mileage accumulation is reasonable for a 2015 model, averaging approximately 9,249 miles per year, which aligns with the typical usage pattern for an older vehicle. While the test dates are relatively recent compared to the vehicle's age, there are notable gaps in the data that suggest the maintenance history may be incomplete or inconsistent. The most recent test at 101,742 miles was conducted on 2025-07-01, whereas the last recorded failure occurred on 2024-05-28, indicating a significant gap of roughly 1.5 years. This discrepancy suggests that the vehicle has not been thoroughly serviced since the 2024-05-28 test, potentially leading to accelerated wear on components like suspension bushings or brake discs. A thorough inspection must focus on the structural integrity and wear of critical components, as the MOT records highlight specific failures that indicate a need for immediate attention. The most significant concern relates to the suspension system, where the rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint has been excessively worn and the front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint has slight play. Additionally, the central exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gases, and the undertray has been fitted. Other faults include corroded sub-frames, a cracked or perishing tyre (specifically the rear), and minor damage to the front and rear tyres. These recurring issues, particularly the ball joint wear and the exhaust leak, represent structural risks that require professional diagnosis to prevent further deterioration.
