2014 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · CV14 ORZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive repairs. The most recent test on April 1, 2026, at 45,230 miles resulted in a failure due to an obstructed windscreen view and an inability to inspect the nearside rear seatbelt belt. While the vehicle passed immediately upon re-test, the failure indicates that the owner neglected to address visible obstructions prior to the inspection, rather than maintaining a proactive service schedule. The mileage profile is notably low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the 2023 test at 33,592 miles and the 2025 test at 36,745 miles, where only 3,153 miles were covered over two years. This low-frequency use often leads to age-related degradation of components rather than mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the 2025 advisory regarding a perished offside rear tyre and a worn offside front tyre. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rubber-based components, as the history of tyre perishing in 2025 suggests the vehicle has sat for extended periods. The recurring uneven wear on the offside front tyre in 2024 and 2025 points to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require attention. Given the low mileage, the brakes should also be checked for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as these are common in vehicles that are not used frequently enough to keep the components clean.
