2015 Infiniti QX70 3.0L Diesel · RO15 BYW

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in April 2026, but the report highlights emerging issues with the steering system. There is noted seepage from the steering rack and movement in the steering rack mounting rubbers, both of which indicate the steering assembly is beginning to degrade. A clear pattern of neglecting consumables is evident throughout the history. In 2023 and 2024, the car passed with both front and rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, with some showing cracked shoulders. In 2025, the vehicle failed and then passed due to thin rear brake pads. This suggests a maintenance style where parts are only replaced once they have reached a critical or illegal state. The 2025 MOT failure also recorded an inoperative or malfunctioning Engine Management Indicator Lamp (MIL). While this was resolved to achieve a pass, any engine light failure is a significant red flag that requires verification to ensure the underlying fault was actually repaired rather than just cleared. The mileage of 122,670 miles is typical for an 11-year-old vehicle. While this level of use is expected, the trend of defects is worsening.
