2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RO15 BYZ

The 2015 Infiniti Q50 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2025-06-05 at 94,231 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern with no major defects reported in the last two tests, though minor issues persist. The 2024 and 2025 tests both noted brake-related advisories, including thin rear pads and fluctuating front service brakes, which suggest ongoing wear but not immediate failure. These are manageable concerns rather than urgent risks, indicating the vehicle has been maintained with attention to braking systems. The mileage progression reflects a consistent annual average of approximately 8,566 miles over 11 years, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no signs of unusually rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of inactivity, as the MOTs are spaced roughly annually. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests is notable—nearly a full year—during which the car accumulated 10,262 miles. This suggests either a period of reduced use or a delay in testing, but the subsequent MOTs show the vehicle remained in service. The absence of defects in the 2021 test, followed by recurring tyre wear and suspension issues, may indicate that maintenance was not consistently prioritized in the intervening years. Recurring tyre wear, particularly on the front and rear edges, points to potential alignment issues or suspension wear that should be inspected. The nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joint showed slight play in 2023, which could worsen over time and affect handling. Brake components, especially rear pads, have been thin in multiple tests, suggesting either aggressive driving or a need for inspection of calipers and discs. The fluctuating front service brakes noted in the latest test may indicate binding calipers or worn components, warranting a thorough brake system check. While no structural rust or emissions issues were flagged, buyers should inspect the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly in wheel arches and along the sills, as these are common weak points in this model.
