2016 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · R26 ABT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 63,939 miles identified several wear items, including pitted and scored front brake discs and uneven tyre wear. While the car passed this test, the transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple defects in 2025 suggests that components are only being addressed once they reach a critical point of failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year over the ten-year period. There is a steady progression in mileage, moving from 23,033 miles in 2019 to 63,939 miles in 2025. However, the low annual mileage appears to correlate with recurring rubber degradation. The repeated reports of tyre perishing and cracking between 2020 and 2023 indicate the vehicle likely sits for extended periods, allowing sidewalls to age prematurely. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and alignment geometry, as the 2025 test flagged front tyres wearing on the edges. This often indicates poor tracking or worn suspension bushes that require adjustment. The braking system warrants scrutiny; the 2023 failure for thin rear brake pads and the 2025 advisory for scored front discs suggest the braking hardware may be nearing the end of its effective life. Furthermore, the persistent issues with the nearside front position lamp across multiple years indicate a lack of attention to minor electrical fitments. While no structural corrosion or major mechanical failures have been recorded, the history of structural tyre failures and tears in 2023 suggests the previous owner may have overlooked safety warnings. Verify the current condition of all tyres to ensure they are not showing signs of cracking or structural failure.
