2017 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · SJ67 VUT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in September 2025 at 68,299 miles resulted in an advisory for thin rear brake pads. This follows a pattern established in 2023 where the nearside rear pads were also flagged for wear. While the car has passed its annual inspections, the recurring nature of brake wear suggests that the previous owner only addresses components once they reach the limit of legal effectiveness. The mileage profile is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 52,443 miles and September 2024 at 62,056 miles, the car covered roughly 10,000 miles, indicating steady and typical usage. This low mileage generally reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine, but the low frequency of use often masks the degradation of rubber components, such as the perished tyres noted in the 2023 record. A buyer must inspect the rear braking system thoroughly to ensure the thin pads have actually been replaced as advised in the 2025 test. The 2023 record also highlighted age-related cracking in the tyres and a defective spare tyre, which indicates that rubber-based components may be failing despite having sufficient tread depth. Additionally, the offside front upper items being removed from the driver's view during the 2025 test warrants a close physical check of the suspension geometry and bushings to ensure no structural damage or leaks were hidden from the tester.
