2018 Infiniti Q60 2.0L Petrol · SJ18 XHB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on July 22, 2025, at 68,549 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the significant failure in mid-2024. While the June 2024 test revealed a comprehensive list of safety-related defects, the absence of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner addressed the urgent mechanical and structural issues identified during that period. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a clear progression of 14,438 miles between July 2022 and July 2023, followed by another 12,937 miles in the year leading up to the 2024 failure. This steady rate of use suggests the car is subjected to regular driving rather than long periods of inactivity, which typically helps prevent the premature seizing of brake components or the degradation of rubber-based suspension parts. A buyer should perform a close-range inspection of the front suspension and exhaust system. Recurring faults regarding worn lower suspension arm bushes and rear anti-roll bar linkage ball joints appeared in three consecutive tests between 2023 and 2024. Although these were cleared, their repetitive nature indicates they are a known point of wear on this chassis. The exhaust system has been noted for corrosion since 2022, so a visual check is required to ensure the deterioration has not progressed into structural thinning. The braking system also warrants scrutiny. The June 2024 failure highlighted excessive parking brake travel and critical front tyre wear with exposed cords. While the tyres were likely replaced, the buyer should verify that the parking brake mechanism is now properly adjusted and that the rear discs, which were pitted in 2022, have been replaced. The inoperative engine management light reported in 2024 must also be confirmed as resolved to ensure no underlying electronic faults are being masked.
