2016 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · MM16 XBZ

The 2016 INFINITI Q30 presents a stable and currently sound roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT on 5 June 2026 at 80,149 miles, where it passed with zero defects. The maintenance trend over the past two years is clearly improving. A failed test on 7 June 2025 at 69,147 miles flagged four distinct issues, including significantly worn rear brake discs and both front tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Retesting on the same date just hours later produced a clean pass, indicating the previous owner addressed those specific defects promptly. The 2024 record shows a similar pattern of immediate rectification, with a failed test on 11 May 2024 at 56,579 miles citing a supplementary restraint system warning lamp and seriously weakened front brake discs, followed by a clean pass on 18 May 2024. This suggests a reactive but effective approach to remedial work rather than neglect. The mileage accumulation of approximately 8,015 miles per year is entirely typical for a vehicle of this age and does not raise concerns about excessive use or suspiciously low recorded distance. The 11,000-mile jump between the May 2024 test at 56,579 miles and the June 2025 test at 69,147 miles represents a normal twelve-month pattern with no notable gaps or sudden spikes in usage. The current reading of 80,149 miles sits comfortably within expected parameters for a ten-year-old vehicle. Despite the clean recent result, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and tyre condition given the recurring nature of those defects in the 2025 failure. The rear brake discs were described as significantly and obviously worn, and the front tyres were below minimum tread depth, which points to a pattern of deferred consumable replacement. Check the front brake discs carefully for scoring, lipping, or uneven wear given the 2024 failure cited them as seriously weakened. The supplementary restraint system fault flagged in 2024, while cleared, warrants a check that the SRS warning lamp illuminates briefly on ignition and extinguishes correctly. Inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines, as these are common deterioration points on vehicles approaching this age and mileage.
