2017 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RA17 EPP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2025-08-15 at 58,865 miles with only minor advisories — specifically two rear brake discs noted as worn but not excessively so under item 1.1.14(a)(i). This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes since 2021, with no failures or dangerous defects recorded across the five most recent tests. The advisory trend shows gradual, expected wear rather than sudden deterioration: front brake discs were flagged in 2023, then none in 2024, and now rear discs in 2025 — suggesting wear is progressing predictably across the axle set and remains within safe operational limits. Mileage accumulation has been steady and broadly typical for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging just over 6,500 miles per year. From 2021 to 2025, the odometer increased from 25,592 to 58,865 miles — a gain of 33,273 miles over four years, aligning closely with the annual average. There are no unexplained gaps or spikes; each test occurs roughly every 12 months, with mileages increasing linearly and consistently between inspections. The record is complete and unbroken over this period, offering reliable insight into usage patterns without ambiguity or missing intervals. Brake components warrant close attention during a physical inspection: both front discs showed wear in 2023, and now the rears are similarly advised — meaning all four discs are likely approaching end-of-life service thresholds and may need replacement soon. Tyres also require scrutiny: dual front tyre advisories in 2022 for cracking/perishing suggest potential exposure to UV degradation or long periods of static load, which could indicate intermittent use or storage conditions affecting rubber integrity. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for perishing or cracking, especially given the vehicle’s age and the absence of any structural corrosion advisories — a positive sign, but one that doesn’t eliminate the need to verify mounting points and subframe integrity visually and dynamically.
