2015 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · VX65 AVP

The most recent MOT on 2026-02-03 recorded a pass at 65,532 miles, but noted rear brake disc wear and front service brake fluctuations . These issues were also flagged in earlier MOTs, indicating a recurring concern with braking components. The 2026-01-23 MOT, just weeks prior, resulted in a fail due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring , incorrect headlamp aim , and persistent brake disc/pad issues. This suggests a pattern of brake system degradation and suspension component wear , with the coil spring failure being a significant safety risk. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,532 miles over 11 years equates to roughly 5,957 miles per year , which is low for its age. This could imply light usage or periods of inactivity , both of which may contribute to component stiffness, corrosion, or uneven wear . While lower mileage often correlates with less mechanical stress, the repeated brake and suspension issues indicate potential underlying faults that may not align with typical wear patterns for a vehicle of this age. The trend of issues appears stable but not improving. Brake disc wear and fluctuations have recurred across multiple MOTs, and the 2026-01-23 failure highlights a critical suspension defect (fractured coil spring) that was resolved by the next MOT. However, the persistence of brake-related findings suggests ongoing maintenance needs .
