2017 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RV17 YTF

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-09-15, with a single advisory concerning rear tyre condition. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the recurring mention of tyre wear and cracking suggests ongoing issues with tyre management or alignment, warranting close inspection of the suspension and wheel bearings. The fact that both rear tyres were flagged in the latest test indicates a potential underlying mechanical concern rather than isolated wear. Mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of approximately 6,741 miles over nine years, which is within typical usage expectations for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2023-07-19 test at 67,284 miles and the 2024-09-24 test at 50,741 miles is anomalous and likely reflects a data entry error, as mileage cannot decrease. Assuming the correct figure is 50,741 miles at the 2024 test, the vehicle has covered roughly 16,543 miles in the last two years, which is reasonable. However, the absence of MOT records between 2022 and 2023 raises questions about the vehicle’s history and whether it was driven regularly during that period. Given the repeated tyre-related advisories and the absence of any major structural or mechanical defects in the MOT history, a buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushes, which may contribute to uneven tyre wear. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for binding or uneven wear, especially on the rear axle. The presence of child seat restraints in earlier tests, while not a defect, indicates that the rear seat area may have been frequently used, potentially affecting seatbelt inspection and trim integrity. Overall, the vehicle appears mechanically sound but requires careful scrutiny of tyre and suspension health.
