2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · AF14 BVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding suspension components. The most recent test on 10 October 2025 at 109,274 miles resulted in a pass only after a failure involving a fractured offside front coil spring and a leaking nearside front shock absorber. While the owner addressed these immediate safety defects, the presence of oil misting on the shock absorber indicates that the damping system is beginning to reach the end of its functional life. The recorded mileage of 109,274 miles over twelve years represents an average annual usage of approximately 9,100 miles, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 6,000 miles driven between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 9,500 miles in the year leading up to the latest test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which generally benefits the condition of rubber seals and mechanical fluid systems. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension architecture. The nearside shock absorber showed light misting in 2025, and this should be monitored for heavier leakage which would eventually necessitate replacement of the pair. Given the previously fractured offside coil spring, it is prudent to check the remaining springs for signs of corrosion or stress fractures, as these components often fail in pairs. The failure of wiper blades in 2025 was a basic consumable issue that has since been resolved, but the buyer should verify the wiper arms for proper tension to ensure clear visibility remains consistent.
