2019 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · MV19 NPC

The 2019 INFINITI Q30 presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, with its most recent MOT conducted on 18 March 2026 at 57,292 miles resulting in a clean pass. The only advisories raised were minor: a deteriorated rear registration plate and both rear tyres worn close to the legal limit. This outcome is a marked improvement over previous years, where tyre wear advisories were a recurring theme. The maintenance trend is clearly improving, suggesting the current or most recent keeper has addressed the persistent tyre wear issues that plagued earlier MOT cycles. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between the March 2022 test at 27,870 miles and the March 2023 test at 36,815 miles, the car covered 8,945 miles in twelve months. The following year, from March 2023 to March 2024, it added 8,149 miles, reaching 44,964 miles. The most recent interval, from March 2024 to March 2026, shows a slightly reduced pace of roughly 6,164 miles per annum, totalling 57,292 miles. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record, indicating regular and sustained use rather than long periods of inactivity or recent high-mileage covering. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and wheel alignment. The repeated advisories for inner edge wear on rear tyres across multiple tests, particularly the 2025 and 2026 entries, point to a persistent geometry issue. Worn rear suspension bushes, a misaligned rear beam, or deteriorating dampers could all produce this characteristic inner shoulder wear pattern. While the most recent test shows the tyres were finally replaced or rotated into compliance, the underlying mechanical cause may not have been corrected. Have the rear suspension components and subframe mounting points checked for play and corrosion, and verify the four-wheel alignment settings against manufacturer specifications. The braking system also warrants closer attention. The 2023 advisory for rear brake pads wearing thin at 36,815 miles indicates the rear brakes are doing a disproportionate share of the work, which is unusual for a front-biased hatchback. This could suggest a sticking rear caliper, a seized handbrake mechanism on models with drum-in-disc rear parking brakes, or simply a driver who relies heavily on engine braking. Inspect the rear caliper slides, pistons, and parking brake cables for free movement. Check the condition of the rear brake discs for lipping or uneven wear. The absence of further brake advisories in 2024, 2025, and 2026 suggests pads and discs were replaced, but the root cause of the accelerated rear wear should still be confirmed.
