2017 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · 1 ROO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward deferred wear-related repairs. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 43,843 miles passed, the tester identified pitted rear brake discs and both rear tyres reaching the legal limit. This marks a departure from the clean 2024 and 2022 records, suggesting that consumable components are now entering a phase of accelerated degradation that requires immediate attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns with a progression from 33,946 miles in 2021 to 43,843 miles in 2025. This low-frequency usage often reduces mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and surface corrosion on braking metal if the car sits stationary for long periods between tests. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension components, specifically focusing on the offside shock absorber. The record noted light misting on this component in 2023 at 39,578 miles, and without a replacement, this leak will likely progress into a functional failure. Additionally, the recurring mentions of edge wear on tyres across the 2023 and 2025 tests indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that should be addressed to prevent further premature wearing of new rubber.
