2016 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · LR16 UEO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on June 4 2026 at 105,623 miles showed a failure for a severely deteriorated offside front lower anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. This follows a period of mechanical instability in early 2024 where the car failed two consecutive tests within one month. While the vehicle has passed its latest inspection, the recurring nature of suspension failures suggests that components are only addressed once they reach terminal condition. The mileage profile is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 12,914 miles between the May 2024 test at 80,886 miles and the May 2025 test at 93,800 miles, followed by another 11,823 miles to the present. This steady accumulation indicates regular road use rather than long periods of standing, but it also accelerates the wear on rubber components and damping systems. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the entire suspension and damping assembly. The record shows a failure of multiple shock absorbers and fractured coil springs in April 2024, followed by a recent anti-roll bar joint issue in 2026. The front brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored in May 2024, which often indicates long periods of inactivity or lack of cleaning leading to corrosion. Additionally, the history of cracking and perishing on tyres in 2024 suggests that the rubber compounds may be aging regardless of tread depth, necessitating a thorough check of all sidewalls for dry rot.
