2017 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RV17 YRF

The most recent MOT, dated 1 December 2025 at 100 084 miles, resulted in a pass but noted two defects: the front anti‑roll bar ball joint dust covers are severely deteriorated on both sides, and the brake master cylinder fluid level is close to the minimum mark. Prior to this, the vehicle passed the MOT on 5 December 2024 and 5 June 2024 with no recorded defects. Earlier, on 16 June 2023, the MOT recorded tyre damage and nails in both rear tyres, while the 7 June 2022 test was clean. The pattern shows a period of clean tests followed by the emergence of suspension‑related wear (anti‑roll bar dust covers) and a brake‑system indicator (low fluid). This suggests the vehicle’s condition may be beginning to deteriorate rather than improving, though the earlier clean tests mean the trend is not yet clearly worsening. At roughly nine years old with 100 084 miles, the car averages about 11 120 miles per year, which is typical for its age. The mileage figure alone does not point to unusually high or low use, so wear on consumables, suspension, brakes and drivetrain should be expected but not exaggerated. For a buyer, the priority checks are: - Inspect the front anti‑roll bar ball joints and their dust covers for cracks, splitting or excessive play. - Verify the brake master cylinder fluid level and look for any signs of leakage around the cylinder or brake lines; consider a brake fluid flush if the fluid is dirty or low. - Examine the rear tyres for any remaining damage, nails or sidewall cracking, and check tread depth across all tyres.
