2015 INFINITI Q302.1L Diesel

This 2015 Infiniti Q30 has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across four consecutive tests, most recently passing on 16 May 2025 at 69,629 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance checks, though the lack of recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake caliper binding, which often fail silently until advanced. The most recent test, just over two years ago, aligns with the standard MOT interval, though the gap since then means some components—such as brake pads, tyres, and wiper blades—will require verification. The stability of the record implies no obvious pattern of neglect, but the buyer must treat this as a baseline rather than a guarantee of current condition. The mileage progression of approximately 6,300 miles per year is typical for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation. The recorded mileage increases steadily from 44,562 miles in May 2022 to 69,629 miles in May 2025, suggesting consistent use without extended periods of disuse that could accelerate corrosion or fluid degradation. There are no gaps in the MOT history that would indicate prolonged non-operation, though the absence of service records means the buyer cannot confirm whether critical fluids (brakes, power steering, differential) have been changed according to manufacturer intervals. The lack of advisories in prior tests also rules out repeated failures in systems like exhaust emissions or steering play, which might otherwise signal deeper issues. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear items that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—will need scrutiny for uneven wear or sagging, as these components often degrade gradually without triggering MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for lateral runout or excessive thickness variation, as binding or uneven wear can develop between tests. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns will confirm whether previous owners adhered to minimum legal limits, while the underbody should be inspected for corrosion around wheel arches and sills, which can compromise structural integrity over time. The absence of past advisories does not eliminate the risk of these areas failing now, so a thorough visual and functional assessment is essential.
