2014 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · YY14 KJF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred repairs regarding wear and tear. The most recent test in March 2026 at 95,653 miles flagged multiple defects that require immediate attention, specifically involving worn brake discs, thin brake pads, and slight play in both front lower suspension arm ball joints. While the car achieved a clean pass in 2025, the reappearance of mechanical wear suggests that components are reaching the end of their simultaneously. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady usage with intervals of 6,000 to 7,000 miles between the annual tests conducted from 2022 through 2026. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent use rather than being left to sit for long periods, which typically explains the gradual degradation of rubber-based suspension components and braking surfaces seen throughout the MOT history. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the presence of play in the ball joints during the 2026 test indicates a risk to steering precision and tyre wear. The recurring issues with thin brake pads and worn discs across 2022, 2023, and 2026 demonstrate that the owner tends to replace components only when they approach failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. Inspection of the current tyres is also vital, as previous records from 2023 and 2024 highlighted issues with alignment or premature wear on the edges.
