2017 Infiniti Q30 1.6L Petrol · OY17 OPU

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failure in the March 2026 MOT test at 58,245 miles. While the car maintained a clean record for several years, the most recent inspection indicates a sharp shift towards a worsening maintenance trend. The failure due to an inoperative engine-management indicator light is a critical concern as it disables the vehicle's ability to report serious engine faults, potentially masking deeper mechanical or emission issues from the driver. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 31,987 miles in early 2023 to 58,245 miles in early 2026. This low annual usage typically suggests that components like the drivetrain and engine have low wear, yet the transition from a clean test in 2025 to multiple mechanical failures in 2026 suggests that preventative maintenance may have been neglected despite the low mileage figures. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system, as the March 2026 test flagged pitting and scoring on both the nearside and offside front brake discs. The presence of corrosion on the offside front brake pipe further indicates exposure to environmental elements or inadequate cleaning, which could lead to fluid leaks if not addressed immediately. The 2023 failure regarding exposed cords and perishing tyres shows a history of ignoring basic safety consumables until they reached critical failure, necessitating a close check of all rubber components and suspension bushes for dry rot.
