2018 Infiniti Q30 2.0L Petrol · SJ18 XGO

The vehicle is currently in a compromised state, as evidenced by the most recent MOT result from 2026-03-13, which was a failure on the nearside rear tyre. This indicates that the primary structural and consumable risks associated with the 2018 Q30 are not resolved. The failure on the nearside rear tyre suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, and the condition of the tyre has deteriorated to a state where it may be perishing or cracked. Given the age of the car and the failure of the most recent test, the maintenance trend is clearly not improving; rather, it is worsening, with the tyre damage likely accelerating. The mileage profile supports a pattern of rapid accumulation, with the vehicle having only 45,012 miles recorded since the 2025-03-12 test. This gap between the 2022-03-11 test and the 2026-03-13 test reveals that the owner has maintained a very high mileage rate without addressing the underlying mechanical issues. The rapid mileage accumulation suggests that the owner may have been using the car heavily or that the vehicle has been sitting in a high-mileage zone for extended periods, leading to accelerated wear on the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. To ensure safety, the buyer must inspect the vehicle personally to identify the specific structural risks and mechanical faults highlighted in the MOT history. The most critical finding is the nearside rear tyre failure, which requires immediate replacement and assessment of the wheel alignment and suspension bushings. The brake disc wear on the offside and nearside front brakes, coupled with the tyre wear on the offside and nearside front tyres, indicates that the braking system is likely compromised and that the suspension may be unstable. Given the lack of a passing MOT, the buyer should also check for structural integrity, specifically looking for corrosion on the exhaust system and the condition of the structural elements of the chassis that could lead to a crash.
