2016 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · DR16 SJH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent test in October 2025 at 102,248 miles shows a pass following a failure just three days prior. While the owner addressed the immediate failures regarding the position lamp intensity, indicator bulb, and nearside front tyre, the recurring nature of consumable wear-related faults suggests that components are only replaced when they threaten to cause an MOT test failure. At 102,248 miles over ten years, the car has averaged approximately 10,200 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a premium hatchback. The data shows a significant interval of over 16,000 miles between September 2023 and October 2024, followed by another 12,000 miles in the subsequent year leading to the October 2025 test. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary, which explains the steady wear observed on the braking and tyre systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the rear braking system in person, as the record shows a persistent trend of thin pads and pitted discs dating back to 74,269 miles. The 2024 failure for brake pads less than 1.5mm thick alongside scored discs indicates that the owner may have been neglecting service intervals. Additionally, the report of the nearside front tyre being worn on the edge in 2025 points to a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been formally diagnosed. Check the underbody closely for structural corrosion, as the fitting of under trays in 2023 sometimes indicates an attempt to protect or mask components from road-related damage.
