2019 Infiniti Q30 1.6L Petrol · RK19 FMU

The 2019 INFINITI Q30 presents a stable and largely positive roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 14 August 2025 at 33,627 miles resulting in a pass. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though the latest test introduced minor advisories that were absent in previous years. Both front and rear brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened. This is the first recorded defect on the vehicle since its 2019 registration, suggesting the car has been well maintained through its early life but is now entering a phase where consumable components are beginning to show age-related wear. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle. Recorded at 33,627 miles by August 2025, the car has covered roughly 4,800 miles per year since new. The annual intervals between MOT tests confirm consistent but light use: 11,845 miles in August 2022, 19,477 miles in August 2023, 27,523 miles in August 2024, and 33,627 miles in August 2025. Each year added approximately 6,000 to 8,000 miles, with the most recent twelve-month period showing the highest annual accumulation at just over 6,100 miles. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, and the mileage progression appears genuine and consistent with a lightly used vehicle. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the braking system during any in-person inspection. The pitting and scoring noted on both front and rear discs in the August 2025 test typically arises from prolonged standing or light use, where pads do not adequately wipe the disc surface, leading to localised corrosion and uneven wear. Check whether the discs have been replaced or skimmed since the test, and inspect the pad thickness and condition of the caliper slides and pistons for any signs of binding. Given the low annual mileage, also examine the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as the original rubber may be approaching seven years old regardless of remaining tread depth. Beyond the flagged items, a thorough underbody inspection is advisable. Low-mileage vehicles that spend extended periods stationary can develop surface corrosion on suspension components, exhaust systems, and subframes that may not yet constitute a failure but could progress. Check the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for any deterioration, and verify that the exhaust system remains free from corrosion-related leaks. The clean record between 2022 and 2024 provides reasonable confidence in the vehicle's structural integrity, but the shift in the 2025 result warrants a careful physical assessment to confirm that the car has not been standing unused for extended periods.
