2017 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · NK17 YRV

The 2017 INFINITI Q50 currently holds a valid MOT following a clean pass on 5 July 2025 at 70,879 miles. The underlying maintenance trend shows a temporary dip in upkeep leading up to the June 2025 test, which resulted in a failure, before returning to a stable, compliant state. The previous owner rectified the June 2025 defects promptly, as confirmed by the subsequent pass just two weeks later. Mileage accumulation aligns well with the vehicle's nine-year age, averaging roughly 7,875 miles annually. The recorded distance increased from 40,480 miles in June 2022 to 60,058 miles by June 2024, indicating consistent, moderate use. The most recent annual jump of over 10,800 miles between the June 2024 and July 2025 tests is slightly above average but remains within normal parameters for a daily driver. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and chassis components flagged during the June 2025 failure. The tester recorded slight play in the nearside front and both rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. While the vehicle passed the July test, implying these were addressed, a mechanic should verify the condition of the replacement or repaired linkages to ensure the steering geometry remains stable and to rule out accelerated tyre wear. The June 2025 failure also highlighted an inoperative engine MIL and severe tyre degradation, with exposed ply or cords on two wheels. Failing on such basic consumables suggests a brief lapse in routine maintenance. A buyer must confirm the engine management system is fully functional with no stored fault codes, and verify that the rear brake pads, which were noted as wearing thin in June 2024, have been replaced and are currently within safe operating limits.
