2019 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · MV19 NNF

Most recent MOT (30 July 2025 – 26 573 mi) The car passed its latest test, but the examiner recorded two wear items: the front brake disc is worn (though not beyond the legal limit) and the front brake pads are described as “wearing thin”. These are the only defects noted in the whole MOT record. Recurring pattern Across the five‑year MOT history the vehicle has been largely clean. The only other comment was “front tyres wearing low” in August 2022, which is a normal wear item for a car of this age. The emergence of front‑brake wear in the latest test is the first mechanical issue flagged. Trend assessment The defect trend appears stable rather than deteriorating: there are no repeated failures or escalating problems, and the only new item is typical brake wear that naturally progresses as the car ages. However, because the brakes are now approaching the minimum thickness, replacement will likely be required in the near future. Mileage versus age At roughly 26 500 mi after seven years the car averages about 3 800 mi per year – well below the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Low mileage can mean the engine, transmission and suspension have seen relatively little wear, which is a positive sign. Conversely, prolonged periods of inactivity can allow moisture to settle on brake components, potentially accelerating pad and disc wear.
