2017 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RW10 WOO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 at 78,170 miles, with only a minor advisory about insecure exhaust shields—no failures. The maintenance trend is stable; while brake wear has been flagged consistently since 2023, no critical failures have occurred, and the latest test shows no new brake-related advisories, suggesting recent attention to the braking system. The recorded mileage of 78,170 over nine years equates to an average of 8,686 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The annual increments are consistent: 8,521 miles between 2022 and 2023, 9,780 between 2023 and 2024, 7,739 between 2024 and 2025, and 10,306 between 2025 and 2026. There are no unusual gaps or spikes in usage, indicating regular, moderate driving without extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the brake system thoroughly, particularly the offside rear disc and both front and rear pads, as thinning has been noted annually since 2023, with the front pads previously flagged as “very low” in 2024. The nearside rear brake hose was twisted in 2025, which may indicate improper routing or prior servicing errors. The anti-roll bar linkage ball joints on both rear corners showed slight play in 2022—this component should be checked for wear, corrosion, or replacement, as it affects handling and safety. The exhaust shield issue is low-risk but should be secured to prevent further damage to the exhaust system. No structural corrosion or major component failures have been recorded, but the cumulative brake wear suggests the vehicle has been driven with minimal attention to consumables until recently.
