2017 Infiniti QX30 2.1L Diesel · NK17 YPE

The 2017 INFINITI QX30 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean MOT pass on 22 December 2025 at 85,344 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean sheet is a strong positive signal. The vehicle had failed its prior test on 3 December 2024 at 80,773 miles, but the subsequent retest on that same date passed after remedial work was carried out. Both headlamp aim defects were corrected, and the tyre condition was addressed. The tester flagged a tyre pressure monitoring system warning light on both the failed and passed tests in December 2024, yet this did not reappear in the December 2025 test, suggesting the TPMS fault was either repaired or the system reset and remained stable over the following twelve months. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a vehicle of this age. Between December 2023 at 71,388 miles and December 2024 at 80,773 miles, the vehicle covered 9,385 miles. The following year to December 2025 added only 4,571 miles, indicating a notable drop in annual use during the most recent period. This lighter recent usage reduces the rate of consumable wear on brake discs, pads, tyres, and suspension components. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record that would raise concern about tampered mileage or extended periods of disuse. The recurring theme across the MOT history is front tyre condition. Both nearside and offside front tyres were flagged in December 2024 for tread wear close to the legal limit and edge wear, and again in December 2025 for cracking and perishing despite passing. Edge wear on the front tyres typically points to suspension geometry issues, most commonly worn front lower suspension bushes or tracking misalignment. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs for deterioration, and verify wheel alignment settings. The headlamp aim defects recorded in December 2024 were resolved, but it is worth confirming that both headlamp units remain correctly aimed and that no moisture ingress has developed inside the lamp housings. The TPMS warning illuminated in December 2024 but did not reappear in the most recent test, so the system appears functional at present. Still, a buyer should check whether all four TPMS sensors are transmitting correctly using a diagnostic tool, as a faulty sensor can fail without triggering an immediate dashboard warning. Beyond these specific items, the vehicle's overall record is clean and the maintenance trajectory is positive. A standard inspection of brake disc thickness, pad life, exhaust condition, and underbody corrosion would be prudent given the vehicle's age and mileage, but the MOT data does not indicate any serious structural or mechanical risks at this time.
