Is the Q50 disappearing?

Licensed numbers peaked at 2,605 in 2018 Q3 and stand at 2,222 in 2026 Q1, down 15%. That is down 11% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 123 are declared SORN — 1 in 19 of the 2,345 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Q50 MOT pass rate

In 2024, 79.1% of 2,001 Infiniti Q50 MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 79.6% of cars aged 6–9 years passed first time, against 75.1% aged 10–14 years.

• Mechanical Brake Components — 4.5% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
• Condition — 3.7% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
• Tread Depth — 3% of tests. Tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Budget for tyres, and treat it as a sign of how the car was maintained.
• Anti-roll Bars — 2.9% of tests. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.
