2015 Infiniti Q70 2.1L Diesel · RX15 OJS

The vehicle presents a mixed picture of maintenance history, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-02 failing on a critical braking issue (brake pad thickness and binding) while passing on suspension and other components. This indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical condition, likely exacerbated by the vehicle's high mileage and age, suggesting a trend of worsening maintenance rather than stable upkeep. The mileage accumulation is substantial, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year, which places the car at roughly 13,995 miles in 2026. This rapid increase correlates with the failure of the rear brake pads and the presence of binding calipers, suggesting that the vehicle has likely been driven too frequently or the wear on these components has not been adequately monitored or replaced. The gap between the 2022 and 2025 tests highlights a lack of regular inspection, as the 2022 pass at 79,837 miles was followed by the 2025 failure at 153,948 miles, indicating that the vehicle has not been serviced according to a consistent schedule. Given the recurring failure of the brake system and the structural integrity issues such as worn brake discs and binding calipers, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for rust, corrosion, and structural defects in suspension components like wheel bearings and bushings. The history of binding calipers and worn brake pads suggests that the car may require immediate attention to prevent further damage, including potential safety hazards or costly repairs, as the mechanical risks are not currently resolving.
