Reviewing a Vehicle I'm about to buy
Hello,
I'm currently going through the history of this vehicle I'm about to buy. During its latest emission test back in August 17, 2017, it has FAILED EMISSION INSPECTION and PASSED EMISSION INSPECTION right below it.
This car is being sold from a MINI dealership. Any recommendations?

Hello. What exact vehicle are you buying? Coupe, sedan, X? How many miles on it? Maybe you can ask the Mini dealership why it failed and then passed emissions? Sometimes it’s something meager like the battery was disconnected, dead, or replaced, and it needed to complete all the OBD2 drive cycle monitors before it would pass. Different states have different emissions standards too.

Also, on the AutoCheck Vehicle History Report, for the model, it shows:
IPL G Base / Journey / Sport
What does this mean? I bought this car thinking it was a G37S (Sport).

don't worry about anything. Its really common for cars to fail smog in california. for our cars it's a simple as having the battery unplugged for too long before the smog test. I had to drive my car through a whole tank before it would pass smog when I left the battery unplugged. the car needs time to adjust to cali gas.

If you have a red S on the trunk and the big silver brake calipers that say "Infiniti" on them then you most surely have a Sport, if you have cast floating brake calipers you have a Journey, and the IPL has IPL on the trunk, seat backs and maybe a couple other places. The IPL and Sport also have many other features, such as adjusting thigh bolsters on the seats, Limited Slip differential, quicker steering, etc.

Might still be under the 5/60 powertrain warranty, depending on the in service date.
