What is the Infiniti MOT pass rate?

81% of 6,307 class-4 initial MOT tests on Infiniti cars passed first time in 2024 — above the 71.2% UK average across all published models.

Which Infiniti has the best MOT pass rate?

Of the Infiniti model groups with a substantial sample, the Q30 has the highest initial pass rate at 82% across 4,306 tests. Pass rates track vehicle age closely, so newer model groups tend to sit higher.

Does a good Infiniti pass rate mean the car I am looking at is fine?

No. A model-level rate describes a population, not one vehicle. Enter the registration for that car's own MOT, tax and mileage record, and check for outstanding finance, write-off and stolen markers before you buy.

What Infiniti cars fail on

The items most often behind a first-test failure across Infiniti model groups, as a share of Infiniti tests. DVSA publishes each model group's six most common categories, so this ranks the biggest published causes rather than every possible one.

Mechanical Brake Components — 3.3% of Infiniti tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
Condition — 2.9% of Infiniti tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
Tread Depth — 2.7% of Infiniti 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 — 2.3% of Infiniti tests. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.
Springs — 1.6% of Infiniti tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
Headlamps — 1.2% of Infiniti tests. A headlight fault, from a blown bulb to a failed unit.
Brake Performance — 0.7% of Infiniti tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
Position Lamps — 0.5% of Infiniti tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.

Methodology and limitations

MOT outcomes describe testable items at the time of inspection. They are not a measure of overall mechanical reliability.

Scope: Class 4 normal initial MOT tests completed in 2024. Models require at least 1,000 qualifying tests. Duplicate source rows are removed using official DVSA test IDs.
