2018 Infiniti Q50 3.0L Petrol · RM13 JAB

The vehicle currently meets the roadworthiness requirements for 2026, but the MOT history indicates a clear deterioration trend that was not addressed by any previous owner. The most recent test on 2026-02-27 at 50,767 miles was a pass, yet this is not the only test recorded; a failed inspection occurred on 2026-02-23 at the same mileage, revealing severe wear in the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and ineffective windscreen wiper. This sequence demonstrates that the owner did not perform routine maintenance, leaving the suspension and drivetrain exposed to accelerated failure. The mileage pattern is inconsistent with typical usage for a 2018 vehicle. With approximately 6,346 miles per year, the vehicle has accumulated roughly 8 years of mileage, which is significantly higher than the typical 5,000–8,000 miles range for this age group. This rapid accumulation suggests that the owner may have driven longer distances than expected or relied on a fuel economy that is not optimal for this vehicle's specifications, leading to accelerated wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions. A buyer should conduct an in-person inspection to verify the critical findings from the MOT record. The primary concern is the excessive wear on the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint and the windscreen wiper, which could compromise roadworthiness. Additionally, the lack of maintenance history for the suspension and drivetrain components raises the risk of imminent failure due to corrosion or binding calipers. The vehicle must be inspected specifically for structural integrity, including the suspension bushings and brake discs, to determine if the mechanical risks are present or if the wear is merely consumable.
