2016 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · SH16 MLJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass in December 2025 at 71,812 miles. While the test result indicates legal compliance, the history reveals a persistent trend of premature tyre degradation that suggests wheel alignment or suspension geometry issues may be present. Inspectors flagged nearside and offside rear tyres worn close to the legal limit in both the December 2024 and December 2025 tests. This recurrence implies the previous owner neglected regular checks or failed to address underlying alignment faults after the front tyres showed similar wear in December 2023. At ten years old, this Infiniti Q30 has covered approximately 7,181 miles annually, which sits within the typical range for its class and age. The MOT records demonstrate consistent annual testing without significant gaps between December 2021 and December 2025. Mileage progression remains steady, increasing by roughly 5,700 to 6,000 miles per year across the recorded period. This regularity suggests the vehicle saw consistent use rather than long periods standing idle, though the consistent wear on multiple axles warrants scrutiny beyond simple distance travelled. A prospective buyer must budget for immediate replacement of all four tyres, as the rear pair tested dangerously close to the legal limit over six months ago. Beyond rubber condition, an independent mechanic should inspect the suspension bushes and steering rack for play, as repeated edge wear often points to misalignment or binding components. The absence of advisories on brakes or exhaust emissions in recent years is positive, yet the pattern of tyre damage indicates the driver did not monitor consumables proactively. Verify the spare wheel condition and check for any signs of structural rust underneath the chassis before committing to purchase.
