2018 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RE67 XFO

The 2018 INFINITI Q30 presents a solid roadworthiness record, passing every MOT to date. The most recent test on 20 January 2026 at 49,024 miles passed, though the tester flagged two tyre advisories: the offside front worn close to the legal limit and on its edge, plus cracking or perishing on the offside rear. These are minor consumable items, not structural or mechanical failures. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no recurring mechanical or braking faults, but the pattern of tyre advisories suggests basic rubber upkeep has been inconsistent rather than systematically neglected. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 6,100 miles per year, which is typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The annual tests from 2022 through 2026 show steady, even progression: 37,056 miles in January 2022, 40,038 in January 2023, 42,939 in January 2024, 46,127 in January 2025, and 49,024 in January 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the record. The 2023 and 2022 tests recorded zero defects, indicating a period of clean mechanical health. The advisories only re-emerge in 2024 and 2026, both tyre-related. A buyer inspecting this car in person should focus on the condition and age of all four tyres, including sidewalls and inner edges, given the repeated advisories on both axles. The offside rear tyre cracking flagged in January 2026 warrants particular attention, as perishing can indicate age degradation or prolonged standing. Beyond tyres, the January 2024 advisory for thin offside rear brake pads, though minor and resolved by the next test, justifies a check of rear pad thickness and disc condition. The front suspension and steering components should also be inspected, since edge wear on the offside front tyre can point to alignment or tracking issues. No structural corrosion, exhaust emissions, or braking system failures have been recorded, so the mechanical fundamentals appear sound.
