2010 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · FP60 ENY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 118,270 miles passed with only a minor tyre advisory, the preceding year showed a period of significant decline in maintenance standards. The failure in March 2025 at 115,694 miles highlighted critical safety issues, including thin brake pads and a structural tyre failure, indicating that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they threatened the vehicle's legality. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 118,270 represents an average of approximately 7,400 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate usage. The data shows consistent annual testing with intervals of 2,500 to 3,000 miles driven between each MOT from 2023 to 2026. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy motorway use, but the recurring rubber failures suggest age-related degradation despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record consistently flags deteriorated ball joint dust covers and leaking front shock absorbers dating back to 2023, suggesting these components may be nearing or have reached the end of their life. The braking system shows a issues with binding rear calipers and imbalanced axle efficiency across multiple years, which often points to sticking calipers or worn sliders that require professional attention to ensure consistent stopping. Structural attention should also be paid to the underbody, as the 2023 test noted corrosion on the front lower subframe mounting. While not classified as excessive at that time, rust on structural members of this age must be monitored for rapid progression. Given the frequent reports of perishing and cracking tyres across all axles, the current set of rubber should be checked for dry rot, regardless of remaining tread depth, as the owner appears to have neglected replacing components until failure.
