For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 85.5% from 28,289 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 55. The current pool shows an average of 69,944 miles and an average age of 8.6 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 77,745 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, coil springs and engine warning light. The practical read is that the Infiniti Q30 looks a little better than average, but still rewards careful checks on mileage and maintenance.
