2011 Infiniti FX 3.0L Diesel · YK61 AYC

The 2026‑01‑13 MOT confirms the 2011 INFINITI FX remains roadworthy, though the test recorded near‑limit tyre wear on both rear tyres, an oil leak that was not excessive, and play in the steering rack inner joint; earlier failures such as the 2023‑12‑28 test noting excessive wear of the near‑side front lower suspension arm ball joint indicate a pattern of recurring suspension wear rather than a clear improvement. The vehicle’s 131,037 miles over roughly 15 years average about 8,700 miles per year, a figure typical for its age, yet the log shows uneven usage – rapid mileage gain from 83,865 miles in July 2020 to 108,371 miles by December 2023, and a further 16,800 miles in the year to January 2025, followed by only 5,868 miles in the last eleven months. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension components, especially the near‑side front lower arm ball joint and steering rack inner joint for looseness or worn bushes, verify tyre condition beyond the legal limit and check for any cuts or uneven wear, confirm the source of the persistent oil leak and the minor exhaust leak noted in 2025, examine brake pads and discs for wear indicated in 2021, and ensure that previous modifications such as the undertray and engine cover have not concealed structural damage.
