2018 Infiniti Q30 1.6L Petrol · YC68 TBU

A consistent history of clean MOT results defines this vehicle's recorded roadworthiness, with no defects or advisories noted across five consecutive annual inspections. The most recent test on 04 November 2025 confirms this trend of passing without any recorded failures or remedial requirements, suggesting that the components inspected during the MOT testing process have met the required standards throughout the vehicle's documented history. The recorded mileage of 16,799 miles against an eight-year age profile indicates an exceptionally low annual usage rate of approximately 2,100 miles per year. Mechanically, such low mileage means that high-wear components like brake discs, pads, and tyres may have less frictional wear than average, but it also implies the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. This usage pattern often means that while mechanical components may have low mileage, rubber components such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and various seals may be subject to age-related degradation rather than wear-related degradation. Given the absence of any recorded advisories for corrosion, leaks, or suspension wear, a physical inspection should focus on verifying that the low usage has not resulted in seized components. During a test drive, pay close attention to the operation of the braking system to ensure there is no binding of the calipers or unevenness in the pedal feel, which can sometimes occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. Listen for any dull knocks or knocks from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, as this would indicate potential perishing of the rubber bushes or dampening components despite the low mileage. Furthermore, check for any signs of fluid weeping around the engine and gearbox housings, as stationary periods can sometimes lead to seal shrinkage. While the MOT history shows no recorded oil misting or leaks, a visual inspection of the underside is necessary to confirm that the lack of regular thermal cycling has not affected the integrity of the gaskets and seals. Ensure the steering remains centered and free of any pulling to one side, which would help confirm that the steering rack and suspension geometry remain unaffected by the vehicle's specific usage profile.
