2014 Infiniti Q50 2.1L Diesel · YY14 KJO

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend based on the most recent MOT data. While it passed its test on January 12 2022 at 94,574 miles, this followed a failure just six days prior. The initial failure revealed critical mechanical issues including a nearside front wheel bearing with excessive play and worn suspension ball joints on both sides. The subsequent pass noted advisories for thin front brake pads and worn discs, suggesting that the owner only addressed essential repairs when forced by a test failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 94,574 miles, the car has averaged approximately 7,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle. However, there is a significant gap in the testing history between January 2022 and the current date of June 2026. The vehicle has not undergone a recorded MOT in over four years, meaning the current roadworthiness of the braking and suspension systems is unknown. The lack of recent data is a high risk, as degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal parts would likely have progressed during this long period without professional oversight. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension geometry. The history repeatedly flags play in the ball joints and wheel bearings, indicating these components may be prone to premature wear on this example. The front braking system requires a close check for disc thickness and pad life, as the 2022 record already showed them nearing the end of their functional life. Given the four-year gap in the MOT record, checking for perished sidewalls and seized brake calipers is mandatory to ensure the vehicle has not sat stationary or suffered from fluid fluid neglect.
