2016 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RF16 KTT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test on June 2 2026 at 102,737 miles, it failed just one day prior due to a critical safety fault in the supplementary restraint system and mechanical play in both the nearside and offside front suspension arm ball joints. Although these faults were addressed immediately, the recurring appearance of mechanical defects suggests that the owner only services the components once they result in an MOT failure. At 102,737 miles over ten years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,274 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The mileage data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 6,600 miles driven between the June 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,900 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, which generally helps prevent component degradation from long periods of standing. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the ball joints have already been flagged for play. The history shows a clear trend of neglecting basic consumables, evidenced by the June 2025 failure involving multiple tyre defects, tread depth below legal limits, and a dangerously worn rear inner brake pad. The uneven tyre wear noted in 2024 and 2025 also indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully rectified. Verify that the SRS warning lamp is now cleared and the airbag system fault has been professionally diagnosed, as this was a significant safety failure that failed the most recent test.
