2017 Infiniti Q70 2.1L Diesel · NK17 YPZ

The 2017 INFINITI Q70 presents a stable maintenance trend, passing its most recent MOT on 24 February 2026 at 56,326 miles with only a minor advisory for front sub-frame corrosion that was not seriously weakened. This follows a pattern of consistent, clean passes since 2022, with no dangerous or major structural failures recorded across the entire history. The vehicle has been maintained to a roadworthy standard, though the recurring nature of certain advisories warrants closer inspection. The mileage accumulation is typical for a nine-year-old saloon, averaging roughly 6,258 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 31,715 miles in March 2022 through to 56,326 miles in February 2026, with no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in usage. Annual testing has been maintained without interruption, and the 12-month intervals between tests align with the recorded mileage gains, suggesting regular rather than sporadic use. A buyer should pay particular attention to the front sub-frame corrosion flagged in the February 2026 test. While the corrosion was assessed as not seriously weakened at that time, sub-frame corrosion on a Q70 can progress rapidly depending on road conditions and underseal integrity, so a fresh underbody inspection is advisable. The recurring rear brake disc wear noted in both the February 2024 and February 2023 tests at 42,643 and 38,029 miles respectively indicates the rear braking system has historically run hot or suffered from binding calipers or sticking handbrake mechanisms. Although no rear brake defect appeared in the 2025 or 2026 tests, the front brake pads were flagged as wearing thin in February 2024, and the overall pattern suggests the vehicle may have been driven in a manner that places higher demand on the braking system. Any in-person inspection should include a thorough check of rear caliper slide pins, handbrake adjusters, and the condition of all four brake discs and pads. The advisories on both front tyres in the February 2024 test at 42,643 miles, worn close to the legal limit and on the edge, point to potential alignment or suspension geometry issues, possibly worn suspension bushes or tracking drift. With no tyre advisory in subsequent tests, the issue appears to have been addressed, but a buyer should still verify tyre wear patterns and have the four-wheel alignment checked. Overall, the MOT record reflects a vehicle that has been kept legal and mechanically functional, with no escalating structural concerns, though the sub-frame corrosion advisory and historical brake and tyre wear patterns justify a careful pre-purchase mechanical inspection.
