2017 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RK17 CHO

The 2017 Infiniti Q50 presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, with its most recent MOT pass recorded on 12 June 2025 at 96,073 miles showing zero defects. This clean bill of health, achieved just over a year ago, indicates that the previous owner addressed the faults flagged in the preceding failure and has maintained the vehicle to a consistent standard since. The maintenance trend is clearly improving, moving from a pattern of recurring minor advisories and adjustments in prior years to a fully compliant pass with no flagged items. The mileage progression is steady and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the June 2023 pass at 79,307 miles and the June 2025 pass at 96,073 miles, the car covered approximately 16,766 miles over two years, averaging roughly 8,383 miles annually. This sits comfortably within the typical range of 10,000 to 12,000 miles per year for a nine-year-old vehicle, suggesting regular use without prolonged standing periods or excessive short-trip wear. The mileage record shows no suspicious gaps or sudden accumulation, reinforcing confidence in the service history. The June 2024 failure at 89,240 miles flagged four tyres worn close to the legal limit or on the edge, along with an exposed ply or cord on the offside front. This cluster of tyre wear suggests either a period of deferred consumable replacement or possible alignment and suspension geometry issues that caused uneven wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the current tyre condition carefully, checking for edge wear that could indicate worn suspension bushes or tracking misalignment. The June 2025 failure at 96,062 miles flagged excessively worn nearside and offside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, front brake discs worn though within tolerance, front brake pads worn to the wear indicator, and excessive parking brake lever movement. These items were rectified before the subsequent pass, but the recurrence of brake-related wear and suspension linkage degradation warrants a close physical inspection. Check the rear anti-roll bar links for play, examine the condition of the front brake discs and pads for even wear, and verify the parking brake adjustment and cable operation. A thorough underbody inspection for corrosion around the rear subframe and suspension mounting points is also advisable, given the age and the nature of the suspension faults previously identified.
