What Infiniti Q70 failures look like

3,442 Infiniti Q70 tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 1,503 tests (43.7%), with brakes on 985 tests (28.6%) and with visibility on 184 tests (5.3%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.

Narrowed down from the categories to the individual defects themselves, three come up on more than one test:

  • Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge

    MOT inspection manual reference 5.2.3, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension

    Recorded on 849 of the 3,442 tests: 168 failures and 681 advisories or minors.

  • Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement

    MOT inspection manual reference 5.3.4, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension

    Recorded on 496 of the 3,442 tests: 62 failures and 434 advisories or minors.

  • Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened

    MOT inspection manual reference 1.1.14, in brakes

    Recorded on 424 of the 3,442 tests: 22 failures and 402 advisories or minors.

Where there is enough data to compare: Infiniti Q30 (39,964 tests), Infiniti Q50 (23,558 tests), Infiniti Fx (4,161 tests), Infiniti Qx70 (3,844 tests), every Infiniti model (89,906 tests).

Clauses are read from the manual reference at the end of every defect on the cached test records, and a defect shown here has to appear on at least two of them before it is named. The site-wide breakdown explains how that works and compares every make.
