Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on August 12, 2025 at 103,834 miles shows a pass immediately following a failure for a non-functional horn, pitted rear brake discs, and perished rear tyres. While the immediate faults were rectified, the recurring nature of brake-related issues across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses mechanical defects once they threaten to secure an MOT certificate. At 103,834 miles over ten years, the Skoda Yeti has covered an average of approximately 10,400 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for its age. The record shows consistent annual testing intervals, with roughly 4,500 miles driven between the August 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests the vehicle is used regularly, though the cumulative mileage places significant demand on wear-and-tear components, particularly those in the suspension system and braking assembly. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and braking system during inspection. The offside front shock absorber has been flagged for oil misting since at least August 2022 at 82,028 miles, indicating a long-term leak that may now be nearing failure. Furthermore, the persistent reports of pitted and scored brake discs across 2023, 2024, and 2025 indicate a history of corrosion or prolonged use without component replacement. The buyer must verify the current thickness of all brake pads and check for uneven wear on the discs, as the 2024 test already noted thin pads on both the front and rear.
