2017 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · RO17 WVX

The 2017 Infiniti Q30 is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2025-12-05, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening pattern over the past two years. While the vehicle passed with only minor advisories, the recurring issues with brake discs and tyres indicate a lack of consistent upkeep. The front brake discs were flagged as worn and pitted in three of the last four tests, and both front tyres were near or at the legal tread limit in the latest inspection, suggesting ongoing neglect of critical safety components. The vehicle has accumulated 97,708 miles over nine years, averaging approximately 10,856 miles annually—a rate typical for its age. However, the MOT history reveals a significant gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, with no record between June 2023 and December 2024. This suggests either a long period of inactivity or a delay in MOT compliance. The mileage increased by over 17,000 miles in just 18 months, which may have accelerated wear on suspension, brakes, and tyres, particularly given the repeated tread and brake disc issues. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, especially the offside anti-roll bar linkage ball joint, which was flagged in the latest test. The recurring brake disc problems warrant checking for caliper binding or uneven wear, and the front tyres should be replaced immediately due to their advanced wear. The nearside rear tyre with a nail may have been repaired, but its structural integrity should be verified. Additionally, the absence of MOT records between mid-2023 and late 2024 raises questions about the vehicle’s usage and maintenance history that should be addressed before purchase.
