INFINITI Q302018 · 1.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2026-01-29 confirmed the 2018 Infiniti Q30 passed with no defects recorded at 118,282 miles. This suggests any prior issues may have been addressed, but the vehicle’s history reveals recurring brake-related concerns. The 2025-01-23 MOT recorded a failure due to worn, pitted, or scored rear brake discs and thin brake pads, which were not serious but indicative of ongoing wear. Subsequent MOTs in 2024 and 2023 also noted similar brake disc issues, alongside tyre wear and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. These patterns highlight consistent brake component degradation and occasional tyre maintenance needs. The trend in brake disc and pad conditions appears stable rather than worsening. The 2025 failure was resolved by the 2026 MOT, which showed no defects, but the repeated mentions of brake disc wear from 2023 to 2024 suggest the vehicle has experienced sustained friction and heat stress. This aligns with its high annual mileage of ~14,785 miles, which could accelerate wear on consumables like brakes and tyres. However, the lack of escalating severity in later MOTs implies proactive maintenance may have mitigated further damage. The vehicle’s mileage of 118,282 miles over eight years is above average for its age, which typically correlates with increased wear on components such as suspension, brakes, and tyres.
