Pre-MOT Inspection Checklist for Infiniti G37 Owners

These checks follow this Infiniti G37's own most-recorded failure strings, starting with what a tester is most likely to flag on a Infiniti G37.

• the horn — “horn not working”

  Press it. That is the whole check, and a surprising number of cars fail on it.

• the lights — “position lamp not working”

  Switch everything on and walk round the car: both headlamps on dip and main, every indicator, both brake lights, reverse, fog and the two number-plate lamps. A bulb is a few pounds and a five-minute job.

• the suspension joints — “ball joint excessively worn”

  With the car parked on level ground, rock the top of each front wheel in and out while someone watches the suspension arm. Clunks, or rubber boots split and greasy, are what testers record here.

Derived from the DVSA failure strings testers recorded for the Infiniti G37. A check that finds nothing means the item is likely fine, not that the test is guaranteed.
