2016 Infiniti Q30 1.5L Diesel · YH16 YSO

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the 2 January 2026 MOT at 51,302 miles, where it passed despite a prior failure at 51,301 miles on the same day that highlighted tyre damage, anti‑roll bar dust‑cover ingress, and worn front brake discs. The recent pass shows remedial work was carried out, but the clustering of defects in the earlier test indicates a short‑term deterioration that was subsequently corrected. Overall the maintenance trend appears to have stabilised after a brief worsening in early 2026. Mileage averages roughly 5,130 miles per year over ten years, well below the typical usage for a 2016 model. The log shows a steady progression: 38,852 miles in October 2022, rising to 46,020 miles by November 2023, then to 49,137 miles in November 2024, and finally 51,302 miles in January 2026. No sudden spikes or prolonged gaps are evident, suggesting the car has been driven lightly and consistently rather than subjected to periods of high mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the front tyre condition, as the 2026 failure recorded cracking and tread wear close to legal limits on both front tyres. Inspect the anti‑roll bar lower ball‑joint dust covers for signs of corrosion or damaged seals that could permit dirt ingress, a fault noted on both sides in the same 2026 test. Examine the front brake discs for scoring or pitting beyond the minor wear noted, and verify that the oil leak flagged as non‑excessive has been properly addressed. Finally, confirm that the child‑seat mounting point does not obstruct the adult belt and that the suspension bushes and coil springs show no abnormal play or rust, as these components were not flagged in earlier years but could develop with age.
