2016 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · M25 VEF

A consistent track record of first-time passes defines the MOT history for this 2016 Infiniti Q30, which successfully renewed its roadworthiness on 2025-06-20 and subsequently on 2026-06-15 with only a minor advisory for a deteriorated rear registration plate. Across its eight recorded tests dating back to 2019, the vehicle has never recorded a formal failure, though the record reveals recurring items concerning rubber components and friction materials that require ongoing monitoring rather than pointing to severe structural neglect. Accumulating 100,030 miles over its ten-year lifespan yields an average of roughly 10,003 miles per year, placing this Infiniti firmly in the typical usage bracket for its age. This steady accumulation pattern indicates regular deployment rather than prolonged periods of stationary storage, meaning mechanical systems have experienced consistent operational cycles without the risks associated with long-term lay-ups. Prospective buyers must pay close attention to the consumable items repeatedly highlighted in past tests, specifically the rear brake pads noted as wearing thin in 2025 alongside multiple tyre advisories citing perishing, cracking, and a surface cut on the nearside rear tyre. During a physical inspection, verify the current thickness of both front and rear brake discs and pads, and carefully inspect the sidewalls of all four tyres for age-related perishing or tread depth degradation that may have developed since the last test. On the test drive, listen intently for any unusual scraping, squealing, or grinding from the wheels during braking applications, which would indicate that those thin rear pads flagged previously have progressed to metal-on-metal contact. Additionally, test the firmness and travel of the brake pedal, check that the vehicle tracks straight under heavy deceleration, and assess the ride quality over rough road surfaces to ensure the suspension handles impacts without excessive clunks or knocks from worn bushings.
