2016 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · SJ66 UGC

The vehicle presents as roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 8 July 2025 at 78,864 miles recorded as a PASS and no defects noted. The uninterrupted series of passes across four consecutive tests indicates a stable maintenance trend, showing no deterioration in the recorded safety‑critical systems. Mileage averages roughly 7,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical use for a ten‑year‑old car. Between the 16 November 2021 test at 52,368 miles and the 16 November 2022 test at 69,851 miles the car accumulated 17,483 miles, a pronounced surge that suggests a period of intensive driving. The subsequent interval to the 15 July 2024 test saw only 563 miles added, implying a lull in usage, before another 8,450‑mile increase by the 8 July 2025 test. These irregular patterns do not raise immediate red flags but highlight phases of heavy load that could have accelerated wear on consumables. Although the MOT record contains no recorded faults, a prospective buyer should verify the condition of components most affected by mileage spikes. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as rapid mileage accumulation often coincides with uneven wear. Examine suspension bushings, coil springs, and any audible clunking that might indicate fatigue from the high‑usage year. Check brake discs and pads for glazing or excessive thickness loss, and confirm that calipers move freely without binding. A visual assessment for surface corrosion on the chassis and underbody will ensure that no hidden structural rust has developed despite the clean MOT history. A thorough in‑person examination of these areas will complement the clean MOT record and provide confidence that the vehicle’s mechanical health matches its documented roadworthiness.
