2010 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · A13 FAH

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on May 7, 2026, at 140,433 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has proactively addressed mechanical issues identified in previous years. While the 2025 test flagged specific suspension concerns, the absence of defects in the most recent inspection indicates that these components were rectified before the subsequent test. At 140,433 miles over sixteen years, the Skoda Yeti has averaged approximately 8,777 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for its age. The mileage progression is consistent, showing annual increments of between 1,500 and 2,500 miles between 2022 and 2026. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which often leads to accelerated degradation of seals, brake components, and rubber perished. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension assembly. The 2025 test noted light oil misting on both front shock absorbers and a deteriorated nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. Although these are now cleared, the buyer should verify that there are no signs of active leaking or that the ball joints remain free of excessive play. Additionally, the 2022 advisory regarding perishing cracks on the rear tyres highlights that rubber age may be a factor regardless of tread depth; the current tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking.
