2015 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · DS64 HCD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive. The most recent test in January 2026 at 93,267 miles resulted in a pass but introduced advisories for both the nearside and offside front inner tyres being worn to the legal limit and edged. This indicates that while the car is mechanically functional for the MOT standard, it is now requiring immediate attention to consumable items to ensure continued safety. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between January 2024 at 74,457 miles and January 2025 at 85,950 miles, the car covered 11,493 miles, showing a steady usage profile. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods of stagnation, and the vehicle has been used regularly throughout its life, which generally helps prevent the premature degradation of seals and rubber-based components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry, noting the failure in January 2023 at 64,223 miles due to excessively worn suspension arm bushes on both sides. While this was rectified to allow a pass, the current advisory for edged front tyres suggests a potential lingering alignment issue or that the components are failing once again. A physical check for play in the wish arms and ball joints is essential. Given the vehicle is nearing 95,000 miles, a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion is also advised, although the record does not flag any rust issues to date.
