2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RX15 OFD

Most recent MOT (26 May 2026 – PASS) The car passed the latest test at 80 771 mi, but the examiner still noted two minor defects: slight play in both rear anti‑roll‑bar linkage ball joints and a loosely fitted off‑side mirror. Neither was deemed unsafe, but they point to early wear in the rear suspension that has not yet reached a failure threshold. Recurring mechanical pattern Across the last three years the MOT records show a clear wear‑and‑tear theme: Brakes – In May 2025 the front and rear inner pads were below 1.5 mm and the front discs were scored. Those items were apparently replaced, as the later 2025 pass listed no brake defects. Tyres – In September 2024 the front tyres were close to the legal tread limit, a sign of high‑speed wear that would normally be addressed at the next service. Suspension – Ball‑joint play was flagged on the front lower arms in 2024 and, more recently, on the rear anti‑roll‑bar linkages in 2026. This suggests progressive wear in the suspension bushings/ball joints. Interior fittings – A failure on 23 May 2026 recorded a door that could not be opened from inside and a driver’s seat that moved unintentionally. Those issues were corrected before the 26 May pass, but they highlight that mounting points can become loose over time. Trend analysis The vehicle’s condition appears stable but not improving .
