2017 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · BH54 KSH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding deferred attention to consumable components. In the most recent test in December 2025 at 76,085 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories related to tyre wear and suspension leaks. While the car passed, the accumulation of advisories across the last three tests suggests that the previous owner was only addressing issues once they reached a failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,450 miles per year. The car covered roughly 7,500 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 4,700 miles in the following year. This steady usage indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to brake seizing. However, the total mileage of 76,085 miles places several suspension components and braking elements into a bracket where accelerated wear is typically expected. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension and steering, as track rod end ball joints were noted for play in 2023 at 64,367 miles. The offside rear shock absorber also began misting oil by the 2025 test, which often precedes total seal failure and reduced damping efficiency. The rear brake discs are already pitted and scored, indicating they are nearing the end of their effective life and will likely require replacement alongside the pads. The tyres represent a recurring concern, with three out of four being flagged as close to the legal limit or worn on the edge in the latest report. This specific uneven wear pattern suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been rectified. A thorough inspection of the tyres and a professional alignment check are essential before installing a new set of rubber to prevent premature degradation.
