2016 Infiniti Q30 1.6L Petrol · RA65 OXW

The 2016 INFINITI Q30 passed its most recent MOT on 2026-02-02 at 76,300 miles with only a minor advisory on tyre cracking across all wheels, indicating the vehicle remains roadworthy but requires attention to tyre condition before long-term use. The maintenance trend shows no sudden deterioration—each test since 2023 has either passed cleanly or recorded only advisories on tyres and brake discs, with no failures—suggesting stable, if not slightly cautious, upkeep over time. Mileage accumulation has been consistent with its age, averaging around 7,600 miles per year. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests was unusually long at nearly 12 months, with mileage rising from 52,165 to 66,457 miles, implying either extended storage or infrequent use in early 2024. After that, a further 9,843 miles were added before the latest test in February 2026, showing normal annual usage resumed. There are no signs of abrupt mileage spikes or unexplained gaps beyond typical annual intervals. Buyers should closely inspect the tyres, as recurring advisories on cracking and perishing—first on the offside rear in 2023, then both rear tyres in 2022, and now affecting all four—suggest either poor storage conditions, infrequent use leading to dry rot, or delayed replacement. The brake discs were flagged twice, in 2023 on both front discs, though not excessively worn; a physical check for warping, scoring, or uneven wear is advisable, especially given the age and mileage. Suspension components, while not directly cited, should be examined for worn bushes or mounting points, as high-mileage vehicles with older rubber parts often develop related noises or handling issues. A full underbody inspection for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounts and exhaust subsystems, is recommended given the vehicle’s age and mileage.
