2016 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RA65 OXN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on its most recent MOT test on 2025-09-25 at 89,955 miles, which recorded a pass despite several advisories. The maintenance trend shows a gradual worsening of wear-related issues, particularly in the rear tyres and braking system, with no new structural or safety-critical defects introduced. The rear brake disc and pads are now showing signs of significant wear, indicating that replacement may be imminent, while all four tyres remain near the legal limit, suggesting they should be replaced soon to avoid failure during high-speed driving or wet conditions. The mileage accumulation over the past five years reflects consistent use, averaging approximately 8,996 miles per year—typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no extended gaps between tests, with each MOT occurring within a 12-month window, indicating regular servicing and monitoring. The only notable deviation is the jump from 73,980 miles in March 2021 to 75,222 miles in March 2022, representing just under 1,242 miles in one year, which is below average but not concerning given the overall pattern. The steady progression of mileage supports the assumption that the car has been driven regularly without long-term storage periods. A buyer should conduct an in-person inspection of the rear suspension components, especially the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, which have shown slight play in both 2024 and 2023 tests—this could lead to handling instability or increased noise over rough surfaces if left unaddressed. The rear brakes require immediate attention due to worn discs and thin pads; a full brake overhaul may be necessary. Additionally, the repeated tyre wear on the rear edges suggests potential alignment or suspension geometry issues that should be checked. The minor damage to the offside rear door and front lower windscreen, while not affecting roadworthiness, may indicate prior impact or poor repair work and should be assessed for cosmetic and structural integrity.
