2017 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · RV17 YTP

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 11 February 2026 at 99,178 miles but carries multiple advisories. Recurring steering rack play issues have persisted since at least February 2025, indicating ongoing wear in the steering system. Brake discs have consistently shown wear since December 2023 but remain within acceptable limits. A new exhaust mounting defect and position lamp issue were flagged recently, suggesting maintenance has not addressed underlying wear trends. Mileage accumulation shows irregular patterns. Between December 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 20,500 miles in 11 months. However, from November 2024 to February 2025, only 106 miles were driven over three months, indicating prolonged inactivity. The subsequent year to February 2026 saw 8,989 miles, aligning with typical annual usage. This irregular usage could affect component longevity, particularly if the vehicle sat for extended periods. Buyers must inspect the steering rack inner joints for excessive play and check for loose mounting bolts. Brake discs should be measured for thickness and surface condition; their repeated advisories suggest imminent replacement. The exhaust mounting requires immediate attention to prevent further damage. Verify the nearside front position lamp functionality and assess the windscreen damage noted in 2024 for any progression. Also, examine the anti-roll bar linkage ball joints, as previous dust cover failures and play were addressed but may recur if not properly maintained.
