2017 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RK17 CBV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 11 March 2024 at 125,458 miles, with only two minor advisories: a damaged windscreen that does not impair visibility and a nearside front position lamp with reduced light intensity. These are non-critical and do not affect roadworthiness, indicating the car’s overall mechanical condition remains stable. There is no evidence of worsening defects over the last three tests, suggesting consistent, if basic, maintenance. The recorded mileage of 125,458 miles over nine years equates to an average of 13,940 miles annually, which is high for a 2017 model. The jump from 109,892 miles in March 2023 to 125,458 miles in March 2024 represents 15,566 miles in just one year—significantly above the annual average and indicative of heavy usage in the recent period. No MOT was recorded between March 2021 and March 2022, but the absence of defects in those years suggests no major issues were flagged during routine checks. A buyer must inspect the tyres closely, as the 2022 test revealed advanced wear and perishing on all four, with inner edge wear on the fronts and cracking on the rears—symptoms of misalignment, underinflation, or prolonged standing. The tyres are now at least two years older than their last recorded condition and likely beyond safe use. The rear brake calipers should be checked for binding, as uneven tyre wear often correlates with dragging brakes. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel bearings require inspection given the high mileage and the age-related degradation of rubber components. The position lamp fault may indicate a failing bulb or wiring issue, but it could also point to moisture ingress in the headlamp assembly, which should be examined for corrosion or condensation. There is no record of structural rust or exhaust emissions failures, but the high annual mileage increases the likelihood of wear in the drivetrain and braking system.
