2017 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · RJ17 VLP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to consumables. The most recent test in February 2026 at 78,554 miles resulted in an initial failure due to critical tyre wear on the front axle and a nail in the nearside rear tyre. While the vehicle passed immediately upon retest, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the owner only addresses components once they reach legal failure limits or cause an MOT rejection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 21,539 miles between March 2023 (38,037 miles) and February 2024 (59,576 miles), followed by a more regular interval of roughly 12,000 miles between the 2024 and early 2026 tests. This steady annual accumulation suggests the car has seen regular use, which generally helps prevent seal degradation and fluid issues associated with long periods of standing. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a history of perishing, cracking, and uneven wear across multiple axles. The repeated edge-wear on the offside front tyre noted in 2024 and 2026 indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional investigation. Since the tester flagged thin brake pads in 2023, the current state of the pads and discs should be measured to ensure they are not nearing replacement, as the history shows no evidence of scheduled brake maintenance.
