2019 Infiniti Q30 2.1L Diesel · SJ19 LCV

The 2019 INFINITI Q30 presents a stable and broadly improving roadworthiness profile at its most recent MOT, conducted on 2 April 2026 at 132,206 miles. That test resulted in a pass, but the tester flagged both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges, indicating uneven wear patterns likely driven by alignment or suspension geometry issues rather than simple age. The vehicle has passed every recorded MOT since 2022, and the nature of flagged defects has shifted from mechanical and braking concerns toward predominantly cosmetic and consumable items, suggesting the core mechanical systems have been maintained to a reasonable standard in recent years. The recorded mileage of 132,206 over approximately seven years equates to roughly 18,887 miles per year, which is notably high for a vehicle of this age and class. The annual test intervals show consistent accumulation: 21,737 miles between April 2022 and March 2023, 24,095 miles between March 2023 and April 2024, and 22,171 miles between April 2024 and March 2025. The gap between March 2025 and April 2026 shows 5,894 miles, which may indicate reduced use in the most recent period or the vehicle standing for part of that cycle. There are no significant gaps in the test record that would suggest long-term unroadworthy storage, and the annual testing pattern is consistent. The MOT history reveals a pattern of recurring brake-related advisories that warrants closer physical inspection. In March 2025 at 126,312 miles, both front and rear brake discs were flagged as worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened. April 2024 recorded a rear brake imbalance with the offside slower to apply, pointing to a potential sticking caliper or uneven hydraulic pressure. A buyer should have the braking system thoroughly examined, including caliper slide pins, piston seals, and the condition of discs and pads, to determine whether the 2025 advisory has been addressed or if deterioration has progressed. The repeated front tyre edge wear flagged in both March 2023 and April 2026 strongly suggests a persistent tracking or camber misalignment issue. An on-site four-wheel alignment check and close inspection of suspension bushes, track rod ends, and coil springs would be prudent. The rear registration plate deterioration noted in 2023 and 2024 is cosmetic, but the underlying lamp lens condition should still be verified. Overall, the record indicates a mechanically sound vehicle that has been used hard but maintained to a passable standard, with tyre wear and braking components being the primary areas requiring buyer diligence.
