2011 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · AF11 XBY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of escalating mechanical wear and structural degradation. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 174,675 miles was a pass, it followed a failure for a worn offside front anti-roll bar linkage and an inoperative side repeater. The persistence of a non-excessive oil leak alongside corrosion on sills and suspension components indicates that the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related failures are becoming more frequent despite successful reactive repairs. At 174,675 miles over fifteen years, the Yeti has averaged approximately 11,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical long-term usage for a family vehicle. The mileage data shows consistent use, with roughly 6,000 miles driven between July 2024 and July 2025, and another 5,800 miles in the following year. This steady mileage accumulation explains the progressive deterioration of the drivetrain and suspension components, particularly the shock absorbers and ball joints noted across the last three records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sills and suspension mounting points to assess the depth of the corrosion flagged in 2025. The history shows a clear progression in the shock absorbers, moving from light misting in 2023 to serious leaks in 2024, suggesting the entire system may be nearing the end. Additionally, the recurring oil leak requires professional diagnosis to determine if it is a minor seal or a more significant gasket failure, while the driver's door hinge should be checked for further structural thinning to ensure the door remains functional.
