2016 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · AV16 SWJ

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in May 2026 with 83,548 miles recorded, which represents roughly typical annual usage for a ten-year-old car. The history highlights a progressive pattern of brake wear moving from the rear to the front axle. In 2024, the car failed due to a rear tyre cut reaching the ply cords and advisories on rear brake pads and discs. Those rear brake issues appear to have been addressed, as they were not mentioned in the 2025 or 2026 tests. However, the 2026 test now records advisories for the front brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored. This suggests the vehicle is following a standard maintenance cycle where consumables are reaching the end of their life sequentially rather than indicating a systemic mechanical failure. The condition trend looks stable but predictable in terms of ageing components. The mileage increase is consistent, implying the car has been used regularly without long periods of inactivity. When inspecting this vehicle, you should prioritise checking the front brake discs and pads, as the recorded pitting or scoring may necessitate replacement soon. You should also conduct a thorough visual inspection of all tyres, particularly the nearside rear, to ensure no further damage has occurred since the 2024 failure.
