2017 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · RK67 BYV

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor, as evidenced by a persistent failure to meet MOT standards. The most recent test on 2026-01-14 at 52,402 miles passed, but the vehicle has suffered from recurring mechanical issues that have not been corrected since 2023. This indicates a lack of maintenance, specifically concerning suspension components and structural integrity. The 2023 test failure at 29,272 miles, which resulted in both Headlamp aim too high and Offside Headlamp aim too high, suggests that the suspension system has degraded significantly over the past three years, likely due to suspension bushings and coil springs. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of recorded miles, averaging approximately 5,822 miles per year, which is low for a 2017 model. This suggests either very light usage or prolonged standing time, but the lack of corrective maintenance points to a pattern of poor upkeep. The gaps between tests are irregular, with the most recent test occurring in early 2026, implying that the vehicle has been driven for only a few months since the last MOT. The 2025 test at 45,710 miles also failed, indicating that the vehicle has been driven for only about six months since the previous MOT. Given the recurring faults in the suspension and the lack of recent maintenance, the buyer should inspect the vehicle on the ground to check for structural integrity and corrosion. The 2023 test failure involving headlamp aim too high and offside headlamp aim too high is a critical indicator that the suspension has become loose or that mounting points have deteriorated. A buyer must verify that the suspension bushings and coil springs are still in good condition and that the mounting points are not corroded. Additionally, the 2025 test failure involving worn tyre tread and a cut tyre requires checking for tread depth and the condition of the tyre cords, as these components are prone to failure under the current wear pattern. The buyer should also inspect the brake system and exhaust emissions, as the 2023 test failure involving headlamp aim too high and offside headlamp aim too high suggests that the brake discs and calipers may have become loose or worn, leading to a binding condition. The 2025 test failure involving worn tyre tread and a cut tyre indicates that the brakes have been tested, but the lack of recent maintenance suggests that the brake pads and rotors may be in poor condition. A buyer must verify that the brake discs are still tight and that the brake calipers are not binding, as these components are prone to failure under the current wear pattern. Finally, the buyer should check the suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion and ensure that the mounting points are not corroded, as these components are prone to failure under the current wear pattern.
