2017 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RK67 UJC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 121,033 miles passed with minor defects, the tester noted a damaged windscreen and obstructed belt inspections due to child seats. The trend shows a period of stability in 2024 followed by a series of failures in late 2023, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they threaten an MOT pass. At 121,033 miles over nine years, this Infiniti has covered an average of approximately 13,400 miles per year. This sits above the national average for a passenger car, placing significant stress on wear-related components. The record shows a rapid accumulation of over 20,000 miles between October 2023 and February 2026. This high-intensity usage pattern often accelerates the degradation of drivetrain components, bushings, and suspension linkages, which are primary areas of concern on high-mileage vehicles. A physical inspection must focus on the suspension and braking systems. The offside front lower suspension ball joint was flagged for play in October 2023, and a buyer should verify if this was replaced or if the wear has migrated to other joints. The failure in September 2024 regarding insufficient brake lever reserve travel indicates potential issues with the hydraulic system or severely worn pads, necessitating a thorough check for binding calipers or uneven disc wear. Given the mileage, the buyer should also inspect the chassis for corrosion and check the exhaust mounting points to ensure the high usage has not compromised structural integrity.
