2014 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RV64 HDG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in preventative care. While it passed its most recent test on 1 June 2026 at 120,374 miles, this result followed a failure just four days prior for multiple safety-critical defects. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to several failures in the last two years suggests that the current owner is only addressing faults as they arise rather than performing routine component replacement. At 120,374 miles over 12 years, the car averages approximately 10,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for this age. However, there was a significant spike in usage between May 2024 (93,890 miles) and May 2025 (109,813 miles), covering over 16,000 miles in a single year. This increased rate of travel likely accelerated the wear on rubber components and suspension hardware, as evidenced by the mechanical failures noted in the more recent tests. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the front suspension and tyre condition. The 2026 test flagged play in both front lower suspension arm ball joints and identified four tyres with cracking, per, or reaching legal limits. These are signs of age-related degradation that require immediate attention to maintain steering precision. The buyer should also investigate the persistent oil leak noted in 2025 to ensure it has not worsened into a significant seal failure, despite not being flagged in the latest advisory.
