2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · FP14 KUS

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor , with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2026-03-04 at 42,490 miles was a pass, but this was immediately followed by a failure on 2026-03-04 at 42,486 miles due to a significant fluid leak in the front shock absorbers. This indicates a worsening trend for the vehicle's mechanical integrity rather than an improvement. The discrepancy between the two dates suggests that the oil in the front suspension bushings has degraded, leading to the failure of the spring assembly. The mileage pattern reveals a rapid accumulation of wear that is difficult to reconcile with the low age of the car. At 42,490 miles, the vehicle is only about 12 years old, yet it has accumulated approximately 3,541 miles per year. This pace suggests the owner has been on a rapid accumulation of mileage, which is consistent with the lack of maintenance between the two failed tests. The gap between the 2026-03-04 failure and the 2025-03-10 pass is negligible, meaning the car has not had a substantial period of inactivity since the initial failure, which would typically allow for oil to settle and the bushings to condition. Given the recurring faults of fluid leaks and structural issues in the suspension, the buyer should inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and exhaust emissions immediately. The oil in the front shock absorbers has likely corroded the bushings, causing the spring to fail, which is a serious structural risk. Additionally, the lack of a test in the 2025-03-10 period means the oil in the brake discs and calipers has likely degraded, creating a risk of brake failure. The buyer must verify that the exhaust is clean and that the brakes are functionally binding before moving forward, as the current maintenance history indicates that the vehicle requires urgent mechanical intervention.
