2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RX15 OFN

The 2015 INFINITI Q50 presents a solid and currently stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 2026-04-04 at 132,355 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean sheet is a significant improvement over the vehicle's history and indicates that the immediate mechanical condition is sound. The maintenance trend is clearly resolving, as the previous test in March 2023 revealed multiple braking and suspension faults that have since been rectified and have not reappeared in subsequent annual tests. The mileage accumulation is notably high for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year. The record shows consistent annual use, with the odometer climbing from 103,820 miles in March 2023 to 132,355 miles by April 2026. This represents an increase of roughly 28,500 miles over a three-year period, confirming sustained, regular driving rather than long periods of inactivity. The MOT history itself is remarkably consistent, with tests recorded annually in March or April since at least 2023, suggesting diligent upkeep and a responsible ownership pattern. Despite the current clean MOT, the 2023 failure at 103,820 miles warrants attention during any physical inspection. The tester flagged front brake pads wearing thin, a nearside rear service brake fluctuating, an ABS warning lamp indicating a fault, and slight play in both rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joints. While these items were clearly addressed before the March 2023 retest and have not recurred, the underlying components remain subject to ongoing wear. A prospective buyer should specifically inspect the rear anti-roll bar linkages and ball joints for any renewed play, as these are common wear items on high-mileage vehicles. The ABS system should be scanned for any stored fault codes, even if the warning lamp is currently off. The braking system deserves a thorough check given its history. Front pads were noted as wearing thin in 2023, and the rear service brake exhibited fluctuation. With over 132,000 miles now on the clock, the condition of all brake discs, pads, and calipers should be assessed for uneven wear or binding. The high annual mileage also places additional stress on suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust components. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on structural integrity, particularly around the subframes and suspension mounting points, to ensure no corrosion or fatigue has developed under sustained use.
