2014 SKODA YETI2.0L DIESEL

The most recent MOT test on 15 August 2025 at 64,322 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has maintained a consistent record of zero defects across all MOT tests since 2021, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring issues or worsening conditions are evident in the history. At 12 years old with 64,322 miles, the vehicle exhibits a low mileage profile, averaging approximately 5,360 miles annually. This suggests infrequent or seasonal use, which may reduce wear on high-mileage components such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and drivetrain elements. However, the 2024–2025 period showed a 6,801-mile increase (from 57,521 to 64,322 miles), exceeding the annual average. Such intermittent higher usage could accelerate wear on tyres, exhaust, and clutch systems. Low mileage does not preclude age-related issues like corrosion, battery degradation, or perished seals, which require physical inspection. Critical in-person checks must include: 1. Structural integrity : Inspect for corrosion in the underbody, wheel arches, and chassis, common in Skoda Yetis of this age. Suspension components : Examine coil springs, anti-roll bars, and control arm bushes for fatigue or misalignment. Brake system : Test for caliper binding, rotor glazing, or uneven pad wear, even if MOT tests passed. Tyre condition : Check for dry rot, uneven wear, or insufficient tread depth, particularly if tyres are original. Battery and fluids : Verify battery terminal corrosion, coolant quality, and power steering/brake fluid levels. Exhaust system : Inspect for rust perforations or flexible mount degradation, which may not be flagged in MOT tests. Lighting and wipers : Test all bulbs and assess wiper blade condition, as these items degrade with age.
