2016 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · SH16 MLF

The 2016 Infiniti Q30 remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-07-12, passing with minor advisories. However, the maintenance trend shows a gradual worsening in recent years, particularly concerning suspension and brake components. While the 2023 and 2022 tests were clean, the 2024 and 2025 results highlight recurring issues with tyre wear, brake pad thickness, and corrosion in suspension areas, indicating that the vehicle’s upkeep has become less consistent over time. The recorded mileage of 92,088 miles at age 10 years reflects a typical annual average of around 9,200 miles, suggesting moderate use. There are no significant gaps in MOT history, with annual tests consistently completed within the required 12-month window. The mileage progression shows steady accumulation, with no sudden spikes that might indicate neglect or excessive use during specific periods. The 2021 MOT noted rear brake wear, which may have been addressed before the 2022 test, but the continued presence of front brake pad wear in 2024 and 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension components, particularly the anti-roll bar and surrounding bushings, as corrosion and wear were flagged in multiple tests. The nearside front brake pads are consistently thin, indicating potential binding or uneven wear that may require servicing. Tyre tread depth is a recurring concern, with both front tyres approaching the legal limit, suggesting possible alignment issues or uneven wear patterns. The presence of corrosion in suspension areas and the undertray obstructing full inspection may conceal deeper structural or mechanical faults, warranting a detailed mechanical check before purchase.
