2017 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · NK17 YRJ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean pass recorded in the most recent MOT on 14 December 2025 at 55,484 miles. This latest result shows no defects or advisories, suggesting that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. The absence of faults in the most recent test indicates a positive trend in upkeep compared to the minor issues flagged in previous years. The mileage accumulation is consistent and reflects a predictable usage pattern for a 2017 model. The vehicle has covered approximately 23,451 miles since the December 2021 test at 32,033 miles, averaging roughly 5,800 miles per year. This steady progression from 32,033 miles in 2021 to 55,484 miles in late 2025 demonstrates regular use rather than long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering components. The December 2022 test at 37,433 miles identified play in the rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joints on both sides, as well as the offside front linkage. While the recent clean MOT suggests these may have been replaced, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and ball joints is necessary to ensure no new play has developed. The December 2024 test at 50,948 miles flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This specific advisory often points to alignment issues or uneven camber. I recommend verifying that the wheel alignment is correct and checking the current tread depth and wear patterns on all four tyres to ensure the vehicle is not experiencing premature tyre degradation.
