2017 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RO17 WRZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 52,774 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior. That failure identified thin front brake pads and both front tyres sitting at tread depths below the legal 1.6mm limit. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical defects once they reach an MOT failure threshold rather than performing scheduled maintenance. At 52,774 miles over nine years, the car has covered significantly less than the national average, averaging approximately 5,864 miles annually. The usage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 6,400 miles driven between the October 2023 and November 2024 tests, and another 6,000 miles between October 2024 and November 2025. This low mileage is generally positive for the drivetrain but can lead to age-related rubber component degradation and corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the front braking system specifically to ensure the replacement pads fitted in late 2025 were installed correctly and that the discs are not scored or pitted. The failure in 2024 regarding the offside rear indicator and stop lamp suggests potential electrical wiring issues or bulb housing failures that should be checked for corrosion or moisture ingress. Given the low mileage, a close inspection of tyre sidewalls for cracking and the suspension bushes for perished is essential, as these components often age faster than they wear through mileage on low-use vehicles.
