2017 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · NK67 YSO

The vehicle currently sits in a roadworthy state, following a clean pass in its most recent test on August 7, 2025, at69,087 miles. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement after a period of neglect in mid-2024. While the car suffered multiple failures a year ago, the lack of defects or advisories in the latest record indicates that the previous owner addressed the outstanding mechanical issues identified during the prior inspections. At nine years old, the recorded 69,087 miles represent an average of approximately 7,676 miles per year, aligning with typical usage for this class. The data shows a consistent pattern of use between October 2022 and August 2024, where the vehicle covered roughly 10,000 miles in twenty-two months. The gap between the April 2023 and July 2024 tests shows a higher accumulation of over 500 miles, which likely contributed to the accelerated wear noted on the components during that period. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry, as the lower arm ball joints showed a progressive history of wear, from slight play in 2022 to a total failure in 2024. Although these were presumably replaced to pass the test, a physical inspection is required to ensure no further play affects the steering precision. The braking system also shows a history of deferred maintenance with thin pads and pitted discs flagged repeatedly across 2022, 2023, and 2024. Verify the current thickness of the pads and the condition of the rotor surfaces, as the record suggests these components were often run until they reached legal limits.
