2011 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · EK61 AAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding deferred repairs on wear components. In the most recent test in March 2026 at 93,666 miles, the Yeti passed despite multiple advisories relating to an oil leak, deteriorating suspension components, and brake wear. While the car remains legal, the presence of a severely deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar linkage and oil misting on both front shock absorbers suggests that the suspension is reaching the end of its functional life and will soon require significant investment. The' pattern is consistent with the vehicle's 15-year age, averaging approximately 6,244 miles annually. Between February 2022 at 69,904 miles and March 2026 at 93,666 miles, the car covered roughly 23,700 miles. This steady, low-volume usage is typical for a family vehicle but often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which aligns with the recurring pitting and scoring noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and wheels. The rear brake discs have been flagged as pitted, scored, or worn in every single test since 2022, indicating they have not been replaced despite multiple warnings. Furthermore, the history repeatedly notes distorted road wheels on both nearside and offside, which can cause vibration and indicates previous heavy impact damage. The offside front oil leak noted in 2026 should also be identified to Ensure it is merely a minor weeping rather than a significant seal failure on the engine or gearbox.
