2015 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · R10 BCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 20 August 2025 at 60,797 miles passed with only an advisory on the rear lower suspension arm corrosion. The pattern since 2019 shows a clear improvement; after the 2019 failure involving brake discs, imbalance and a missing registration plate, the car has been repaired and has passed every annual test since 2021, indicating that the earlier mechanical issues have been addressed. Mileage is low for a 2015 model, averaging around 5,500 miles per year. The log shows steady increments: from 28,461 miles in August 2020 to 60,797 miles in August 2025, a total increase of 32,336 miles over five years. The interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests is just under twelve months, confirming the MOT is still current. The consistent low‑mileage profile suggests light usage, though the recent corrosion on suspension components hints at periods of inactivity. A buyer should inspect the rear suspension arms for rust and structural integrity, as the 2025 advisory notes corrosion that, while not yet weakening the component, could progress. Brake discs and pads remain a concern; the history records rear disc wear in 2019, 2022 and 2023, and rear pad thinness in 2022. A physical check will verify that the discs are not pitted beyond acceptable limits and that pad wear is within specification. The exhaust system was repaired after a clamp failure in 2024; the clamps should be examined for secure mounting and signs of corrosion. Finally, the front tyres from 2018 show edge wear; a visual inspection will confirm that tread depth meets the legal requirement and that there is no uneven wear indicating suspension misalignment. The registration plate holder should be verified as present and securely attached, and the overall body examined for any rust spots beyond the suspension area. The low mileage reduces wear on consumables, but the documented corrosion and brake wear indicate that regular maintenance has been intermittent. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified technician is advisable to confirm that the advisory items have been fully addressed and that no hidden deterioration exists.
