2017 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · MK17 HSD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards minor age-related wear. The most recent test on October 10 2022 at 32,677 miles passed without failures, but it introduced advisories regarding perished rubber on both nearside and offside front tyres. This indicates that while mechanical components are passing, the rubber components are beginning to degrade from age rather than from use. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. Between the September 2020 test at 25,529 miles and the August 2021 test at 30,801 miles, the car covered roughly 5,000 miles, showing consistent usage. This low-mile profile suggests minimal mechanical stress, which typically preserves the drivetrain and suspension assembly. However, the long intervals between tests increase the risk of flat-spotting and fluid degradation, as seen in the 2022 record. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of all tyres specifically, as the cracking and perishing noted in 2022 suggests the set is reaching the end of its functional life regardless of tread depth. Because the car has sat for long periods, an inspection must check for brake corrosion and seized calipers, which often occur when vehicles are not driven regularly. The rubber bushings and suspension components should also be examined for cracking to ensure the low mileage has not masked material fatigue over time.
