2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RF15 KVZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 139,059 miles passed with only a minor windscreen chip, previous records show a history of addressing faults only after they failed. The trend suggests a stable state following a period of neglect, but the recurring nature of the failures indicates that the owner typically only performs repairs when legally mandated by the testing process. At 139,059 miles over 11 years, this Infiniti has averaged approximately 12,600 miles per year, which sits above the national average and indicates high-use or accelerated wear on mechanical components. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the vehicle covered over 16,000 miles in just twelve months. This high rate of use explains the rapid degradation observed in consumables and suspension parts. The consistent mileage accumulation suggests the car is used regularly for long-distance commuting, which places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension assembly. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the record flagged multiple issues with anti-roll bar ball joints and shock absorbers. The 2024 failure for a serious fluid leak on the offside rear shock absorber suggests the rear suspension components may be nearing the end of their service life. Furthermore, the braking system shows a history of neglected service intervals, with rear brake pads failing in both 2023 and 2024. The buyer should check for uneven pad wear or binding calipers to ensure the previous repairs addressed the root cause rather than just replacing the pads.
