2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RF15 KWP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent inspection on 6 November 2025 at 92,149 miles indicates a shift towards required consumable maintenance. While the car has passed its last three tests, the transition from a clean record in December 2023 to multiple advisories in 2025 suggests that wear-and-tear components are reaching the end of their service life. The maintenance trend is currently moving from a period of no recorded defects into a phase of active component degradation. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with typical usage for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 19,668 miles since the January 2022 test, averaging roughly 8,000 miles per year. The data shows steady progression without suspicious gaps or evidence of heavy, high-speed motorway use, which generally correlates with predictable wear on the drivetrain and suspension. The 1,413-mile increase between January and November 2025 confirms regular, moderate use. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system. The tester flagged thinning front and rear brake pads in both the January 2025 and November 2025 tests, alongside a worn rear brake disc in the most recent entry. This recurring pattern confirms that the braking components are nearing replacement. The nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage has also shown progressive wear, moving from slight play in January 2025 to a worn bush by November 2025. Beyond the brakes, the suspension components require physical verification. The repeated mentions of anti-roll bar hardware suggest that the bushings or ball joints may soon require replacement to prevent excessive movement or noise. While no structural corrosion or serious mechanical failures were noted, the current advisory list indicates that the vehicle will require immediate investment in consumables to maintain its current standard of operation.
