2015 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RX15 OJB

The vehicle remains roadworthy; the latest MOT on 12 August 2022 at 65,351 miles passed with only a slight play noted in the rear anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint. No new defects have emerged since the 2019 brake and tyre failures, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening one. Mileage has risen modestly over the eleven‑year lifespan. The record shows 20,475 miles in June 2018, climbing to 32,254 miles by June 2019, then to 50,455 miles in April 2021 and finally 65,351 miles in August 2022. That averages roughly 5,900 miles per year, well below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The incremental increases between tests suggest regular, moderate driving rather than prolonged storage or sudden high‑kilometre periods, and no unexplained mileage gaps appear in the data. A prospective buyer should give the rear anti‑roll bar linkage ball joint a thorough inspection for excessive movement or wear, as the slight play recorded could herald developing bush or bearing deterioration. The 2019 MOT highlighted rear brake discs and pads at the end of their service life; the discs were scored but not severely weakened, and pad thickness fell below 1.5 mm. Even though the 2022 test recorded no brake defects, a visual check of disc surface condition and pad thickness is prudent. Tyre tread was flagged as near‑legal limit on all four wheels in 2019; confirming current tread depth and uniform wear will verify that the tyres have been replaced or are still within safe limits. A cursory examination of suspension bushes, coil springs, and any signs of chassis corrosion will round out the assessment, ensuring that no latent structural issues have arisen since the last inspection.
