2017 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · RJ17 VLL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on 15 June 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a shift from minor wear-related issues to developing component fatigue as the mileage increases. While the car passed the latest test, the tester identified a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush and an offside front inner tyre reaching the legal limit. These entries indicate that the vehicle is now entering a phase where suspension geometry and rubber components require more proactive attention. At 114,674 miles, this nine-year-old Infiniti averages approximately 12,700 miles per year, which sits above the national average. The usage appears consistent, with an interval of roughly 8,000 miles recorded between the June 2025 and June 2026 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting, which is generally positive for engine health and seal deconditioning. Nevertheless, the high cumulative mileage explains the recurring wear on the front braking assembly and suspension hardware noted throughout the historical record. A buyer should prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension system. The record shows a history of pitted and scored front brake discs in both 2022 and 2023, followed by front tyres reaching the wear limit in 2024. Given the 2026 advisory regarding the nearside front suspension arm bush, an inspector must check for play in the control arms and ball links to ensure the damage has not progressed. The presence of uneven tyre wear in the 2026 test suggests potential alignment issues that should be verified to prevent premature replacement of new tyres.
