2017 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RK67 UGJ

The vehicle holds a current pass certificate issued on 26 May 2026 at 62,898 miles, confirming it meets minimum legal standards for roadworthiness. Maintenance trends indicate a pattern of managed consumable wear rather than sudden deterioration, though braking components require close monitoring. The tester recorded advisories for both front brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored during this latest assessment. This follows similar findings in June 2025 where rear brake discs showed comparable surface degradation. While the car has passed every test since 2022, the progression from pad thickness warnings in 2023 to disc scoring in 2026 suggests standard friction material life cycles are occurring as expected for the mileage. Annual testing records show consistent usage without significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes. The odometer reading increased by approximately 5,600 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests, maintaining an average of roughly 7,000 miles per year over the nine-year ownership period. This accumulation aligns with typical private use expectations for a model of this vintage. The absence of any failed tests or major structural defects across five consecutive inspections implies regular servicing intervals were likely met. Underbody protection trays noted in 2022 remained present, indicating some effort was made to preserve chassis components against corrosion. A prospective buyer must verify the physical condition of the braking system beyond the advisory notes. The repeated scoring on discs warrants a check for warping or excessive runout that could affect pedal feel. Inspect all four wheel hubs for rust accumulation around the caliper mounting points. Although the 2025 test flagged slight cracking on all tyres, these were resolved by the following year, yet rubber hardening remains a risk given the vehicle's age. Finally, ensure adult seatbelts function correctly without obstruction, as child seats prevented full inspection of the rear anchorages during the most recent visit. Confirm the belts retract smoothly and latch securely before committing to purchase.
