2016 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · MM16 XBV

The 2016 INFINITI Q30 presents a stable and largely reassuring maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT conducted on 7 April 2026 at 86,589 miles resulting in a pass. The sole advisory raised was for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, indicating a minor consumable wear item rather than a structural or mechanical defect. This follows a pattern of clean passes in 2025 and 2024, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a reasonable standard in recent years. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the April 2022 test at 26,435 miles and the April 2026 test at 86,589 miles, the vehicle covered approximately 60,154 miles over four years, averaging around 15,000 miles per year during that period. This is notably higher than the overall lifetime average of roughly 8,659 miles per year, implying a change in ownership or usage pattern around 2022. The record shows no gaps in annual testing, and the steady progression of mileages supports regular use rather than prolonged standing. A recurring theme in the history is uneven front tyre wear, flagged in both the March 2023 test at 30,040 miles and again in the April 2026 test at 86,589 miles. Edge wear on the front tyres can point to aggressive cornering habits, underinflation, or misaligned tracking geometry. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and tie rod ends for play, and verify the wheel alignment settings. The rear brakes and suspension components also warrant a physical check, as the higher recent annual mileage will have accelerated wear on consumable items such as brake discs, pads, and damping components. No corrosion or structural advisories have appeared in the record, which is a positive sign for a vehicle of this age, but an underbody inspection remains prudent to confirm the integrity of the exhaust system, subframe, and load-bearing mounts.
