2011 Skoda Yeti 1.8L Petrol · 16 MDW

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate following the test on 26 September 2025 at 44,838 miles, indicating it meets minimum roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend appears stable regarding major structural failures, yet a recurring issue with the rear braking system requires attention. The tester flagged rear brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored during the September 2025 inspection, a defect that was also noted nine months prior in December 2024. This suggests the owner has deferred replacing these consumables despite repeated advisories. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging under 3,000 miles annually. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the odometer increased by just over 3,000 miles, rising from 36,142 to 39,272. A similar pattern continued into late 2025, with the total reaching 44,838 miles. Such low usage often leads to degradation from lack of use rather than wear, particularly regarding rubber components and fluid condition. A prospective buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the rear braking system. The MOT history explicitly lists rear brake discs as worn and scored on two separate occasions, implying they are now likely nearing the end of their service life. Furthermore, the failure on 2 January 2024 resulted from incorrect tyre fitment on the nearside front and offside rear wheels. This indicates previous maintenance work was substandard or potentially unsafe, so verifying the current age, brand, and speed rating of all tyres is essential.
