2017 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RK67 UHC

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2 May 2026 at 47,230 miles with only one minor advisory relating to a slightly loose nearside front obligatory mirror. This follows a failed test on the same day due to a headlamp aim issue and the same mirror fault. The headlamp issue was rectified prior to the pass. The immediate preceding test on 25 February 2026 at 47,118 miles revealed multiple advisories and failures, including an illuminated EML light, front brake pads below 1.5 mm, tyre wear and damage, and an insecure nearside rear mudguard. The vehicle has shown a worsening trend in mechanical condition, particularly concerning brake wear, tyre condition, and engine malfunction indicators. The car has recorded 47,230 miles at the time of the latest MOT, approximately nine years after registration, equating to an average of 5,248 miles per year. This is considered low annual usage. However, the MOT history reveals a gap of nearly one year between the 28 February 2025 test and the next in February 2026, during which 4,635 miles were accumulated. The relatively low mileage does not necessarily indicate light wear, as several mechanical issues were identified, potentially linked to age-related deterioration or inconsistent maintenance rather than usage intensity. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the braking system, including caliper operation, pad thickness, and disc wear, given the repeated failures related to pad thickness and prior advisories on wear. Tyre condition requires close inspection, especially for uneven wear patterns and sidewall damage, which may indicate alignment issues or poor maintenance. The EML light malfunction observed in both the February 2026 and February 2025 tests suggests potential ongoing engine or emissions system concerns. Additionally, the insecure nearside rear mudguard and mirror looseness indicate possible deterioration in body mountings or fasteners. A full inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and structural integrity for signs of corrosion should also be conducted, given the vehicle's age and the nature of the identified faults.
