2015 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · DC65 DFZ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent pass record following a period of minor mechanical attention. The most recent test in September 2025 at 53,259 miles resulted in a pass, though it flagged both front tyres as reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This indicates that while the primary mechanical components are passing, the owner has neglected basic consumable maintenance until the point of failure, which is common in low-use vehicles. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows steady, low-usage patterns, with only 1,600 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests and 1,907 miles in the preceding year. This low mileage suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also correlates with the degradation of rubber-based parts and potential flat-spotting of brake components if the car sits stationary for long periods between annual tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the history reveals a recurring issue with shock absorbers. The vehicle failed in 2019 at 20,549 miles due to a serious leak on the nearside front shock and showed light misting on the offside unit again in 2021 at 38,630 miles. While these appear to have been addressed, the recurrence of fluid leaks suggests a vulnerability in the front-end damping. A physical inspection should check for any new weeping or handling instability that indicates current failure. The uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 record also warrants a check of the wheel alignment and the condition of the suspension bushes. Given the low mileage and high age, the buyer should also verify the structural integrity of the chassis and check the brake lines to ensure there is no hidden corrosion resulting from long periods of inactivity. Beyond these specific suspension-related observations, the MOT record presents a clean history without major structural or recurring mechanical failures.
