2016 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · RX16 TPU

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 16 May 2026 at 104,113 miles, indicating it currently meets legal standards. However, the tester identified a damaged windscreen that does not obstruct the driver's view, and more significantly, flagged both the nearside and offside rear tyres as worn close to the legal limit with signs of uneven edge wear. This suggests a recurring pattern of neglect regarding tyre management, as similar edge wear issues were noted during the 2022 test at 79,213 miles. At 104,113 miles over ten years, the car has averaged approximately 10,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a luxury saloon of this age. The mileage history shows a consistent testing schedule with annual intervals between 8,000 and 10,000 miles. While the frequency of testing is regular, the 2024 test at 89,835 miles revealed thin front brake pads and a minor oil leak, which, combined with previous advisories for play in the steering ball joint, indicates the vehicle follows a reactive rather than proactive approach to secondary maintenance items. The mechanical trend shows a stable but aging set of suspension and braking components. The recurring mention of uneven tyre wear across the rear axle suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional inspection to prevent further degradation. A buyer should verify that the oil leak noted in 2024 has been addressed, as persistent leaks can lead to drivetrain damage over time. There are no structural failures or major corrosion recorded in this history, but the state of the tyres and brakes indicates that immediate expenditure is likely to maintain the vehicle's current condition.
