2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · FG64 EEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent shift from stable to concerning. While the car passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 121,016 miles, this followed a significant failure just a few weeks prior at 120,846 miles. That failure revealed multiple critical electronic faults involving the ABS, electronic stability control, and power steering systems, indicating a sudden onset of complex mechanical issues that were not present in previous years of clean testing. The recorded mileage of 121,016 miles over 12 years reflects an average usage of approximately 10,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical demand for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns between 2022 and 2024, where the car covered roughly 7,000 miles annually. However, the rapid accumulation of nearly 7,000 miles between September 2024 and July 2025 suggests a period of higher intensity that coincides with the recent mechanical and electronic failures. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the electrical architecture to ensure the ABS, ESC, and power steering faults have been professionally rectified rather than merely cleared. These electronic warning lights often mask deeper sensor or wiring harness issues that can recur frequently. Additionally, the August 2025 test noted the rear brake discs were pitted and scored; while they passed the test, the physical condition of the braking hardware and the thickness of the pads should be verified to ensure immediate replacement is not required.
