2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · DE64 PRZ

The overall roadworthiness of this 2014 SKODA YETI is currently rated as non-roadworthy , primarily due to a persistent and severe deterioration in braking performance and structural integrity. The most recent test on 2026-05-22, conducted at 158,017 miles, was a PASSED MOT, indicating that the vehicle had sufficient clearance for the current date. However, this pass was immediately followed by a failure on 2026-05-21, which was the first MOT recorded since the initial pass, confirming that the vehicle is not roadworthy for driving. The maintenance trend is clearly worsening , evidenced by the rapid accumulation of mileage and the failure of the brakes. The vehicle's mileage has grown significantly from 151,893 miles in 2025 to 158,017 miles in 2026, a rate of approximately 6,124 miles per year. This rapid increase suggests that the owner has been accumulating miles without addressing wear on critical components, leading to the progressive loss of braking efficiency and structural integrity. The fact that the brakes failed in 2026, while the suspension components remained passable, indicates that the primary failure mode is mechanical and consumable rather than purely structural. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to confirm the presence of corrosion in the suspension arms and the condition of the brake calipers and discs, as these components are prone to failure under the high mileage and lack of maintenance. The history reveals a recurring pattern of minor consumable wear, such as the cracked or perishing offside rear tyre in 2026, which is not indicative of a serious mechanical risk. However, the persistent failure of the parking brake and the reduced brake efficiency below 50% in 2024-06-04, combined with the lack of a clear history of suspension bushings or coil springs, suggests a potential ongoing structural issue. The vehicle is not roadworthy because it has failed twice on the same test, and the lack of a full MOT record since the most recent pass makes a definitive assessment of the true condition of the brakes and suspension impossible.
