2017 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · SA17 PPF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2 December 2025 at 61,114 miles, with a single advisory on the nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a pattern of recurring tyre edge wear over the last two tests, indicating the maintenance trend is not improving and suggests persistent alignment or suspension issues. The absence of any other defects in the latest test is reassuring, but the tyre condition is a clear warning that underlying geometry or component wear has not been resolved. Mileage accumulation over the past nine years averages 6,790 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests shows a 6,000-mile increase, consistent with regular use. The jump from 40,927 miles in December 2022 to 48,446 miles by December 2023 was 7,500 miles in a single year, suggesting heavier usage during that period, possibly by a previous owner. No significant gaps in testing exist, and the record shows consistent annual inspections, which supports the reliability of the mileage log. A buyer must inspect the front suspension geometry, particularly the tracking and condition of the front suspension bushes and control arms, as the repeated edge wear on both front tyres points to misalignment or worn components. The failed 2023 test for a damaged anti-roll bar linkage dust cover indicates the front suspension has been exposed to contamination — this component should be checked for play, corrosion, or replacement. The brake system should be examined for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, as these often accompany tyre edge wear. The windscreen wiper blade defect from 2024 is a minor consumable issue, but the tyre condition is not — it reflects a systemic problem that may require expensive correction if left unaddressed.
