2017 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RJ17 VLD

This 2017 Infiniti Q30 has covered 117,159 miles, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year. This is a high-mileage vehicle for its age, suggesting it has likely seen significant motorway use or frequent long-distance travel, which places consistent stress on the suspension and braking systems. The vehicle's maintenance trend appears to be worsening. While the car passed its inspections from 2022 through 2025, the most recent MOT in May 2026 resulted in a failure. The presence of a fractured rear coil spring is a significant safety concern that indicates the suspension components are now reaching the end of their service life. There is a clear recurring pattern of tyre neglect. The MOT records show consistent issues with tyre condition, including cracking, perishing, and uneven wear, appearing in both the 2025 and 2026 inspections. This suggests that the vehicle has either been fitted with low-quality tyres or has been running with poor wheel alignment for an extended period, which can lead to premature wear on steering and suspension bushings. The 2023 history also highlighted thinning brake pads and scored discs, confirming that the high mileage is taking a toll on the consumables. Because the car failed its most recent test, you should treat the current condition as requiring immediate mechanical investment rather than just routine servicing.
