2019 Infiniti Q30 1.6L Petrol · SJ19 LCA

The 2019 INFINITI Q30 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, with its most recent MOT on 25 July 2025 at 45,195 miles passing cleanly with zero defects. This follows a pattern of consistent annual testing and prompt rectification of faults. The vehicle has not accumulated any new advisories or failures since early 2025, indicating a period of reliable operation. The mileage progression is steady and typical for a seven-year-old vehicle. Between the January 2024 test at 38,367 miles and the July 2025 test at 45,195 miles, the car covered 6,828 miles in roughly 18 months, aligning with the overall average of approximately 6,456 miles per year. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long-term standing or odometer discrepancies. The record shows two tests on 24 February 2025 at 44,967 miles, a failed test followed immediately by a retest, both at identical mileage, which is standard practice for a same-day repair and resubmission. The January 2024 failure at 38,367 miles is the most technically significant entry in the record. The tester flagged missing wheel fixings on all four wheels and front brake pads worn below the 1.5 mm minimum thickness. Missing wheel fixings are a serious structural integrity concern, suggesting either prior wheel removal without correct reinstallation or a previous owner neglecting basic torque procedures. The worn front brake pads indicate the vehicle was driven with consumables at or beyond their service limit before the failure prompted replacement. Both items were evidently corrected before the February 2024 pass at 38,371 miles. A prospective buyer should inspect the front brake discs for scoring or uneven wear given the prior pad condition, and verify wheel nut torque on all four corners. The February 2025 headlamp failure on both nearside and offside dipped beams points to a possible electrical or bulb issue that was resolved, but the lighting circuit should be checked for consistent operation. Beyond the flagged items, the clean pass history suggests no recurring suspension, steering, or exhaust defects, though a physical underbody inspection for corrosion and suspension bush condition remains advisable at this age and mileage.
