2017 Infiniti QX30 2.1L Diesel · RK67 UHF

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT, though the December 2025 test at 121,908 miles revealed a worn front brake disc and a near-side rear tyre with a nail. This indicates ongoing consumable wear consistent with high annual mileage. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than preventative; a significant failure in December 2023 involving a suspension bush, a rear hydraulic leak, and an inoperative engine management light was rectified within 24 hours, leading to a clean pass in 2024. However, the re-emergence of brake disc wear and a tyre defect in the most recent test suggests wear items are being managed on a short-term basis rather than through a comprehensive, proactive service schedule. The recorded mileage context confirms heavy use. The vehicle has covered approximately 13,545 miles annually over its nine-year life, substantially above the UK average. The MOT history is relatively sparse, with only five tests recorded across eight years, creating notable gaps in verification. The rapid accumulation from 43,065 miles in December 2022 to 121,908 miles in December 2025—an increase of nearly 79,000 miles in three years—corroborates the high usage pattern and explains the accelerated wear on friction and suspension components observed in the latest test. A buyer must prioritise a detailed hands-on inspection of the offside front suspension arm bush, which was flagged as worn in December 2023. While it subsequently passed, the component remains a known wear point on this model and may require imminent renewal. The front brake system demands immediate assessment; the recorded disc wear, though not yet an MOT failure, suggests the discs and pads are nearing the end of their service life and should be measured for thickness and scored for heat damage. Furthermore, the near-side rear tyre with a nail must be repaired or replaced, and all four tyres should be checked for even wear patterns that could indicate neglected wheel alignment or worn suspension geometry. The earlier rear hydraulic leak also warrants a thorough examination of the rear brake calipers and associated piping for any signs of seepage or binding.
