2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · FX64 AXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 July 2026 at 59 239 miles with no recorded defects. This follows a clear upward trend after a serious failure in July 2024, when a front offside shock absorber fluid leak and tyre wear close to the legal limit caused the test to be unsuccessful. The subsequent annual passes in 2025 and 2026 indicate that the identified issues have been addressed and the car now meets the required standards. Mileage accumulation has been modest for a 2014 model, averaging roughly 4 937 miles per year over the past twelve years. The service history shows a steady increase: from 35 837 miles in July 2021 to 59 239 miles in July 2026, with each annual test spaced about ten months apart. This low‑mileage profile suggests light overall usage, though the gap between the 2024 failure and the 2025 pass reflects a period of inactivity or limited driving that may have allowed the shock leak to manifest. A prospective buyer should pay particular attention to the front suspension and braking systems. The 2024 failure highlighted a serious fluid leak in the offside front shock absorber, a component that should be inspected for oil seepage and proper damping action. The 2023 advisory on a worn front lower suspension arm pin or bush indicates that the suspension geometry may have degraded; a close visual check and measurement of bush condition are advisable. Brake disc wear is a recurring theme, with multiple entries noting front and rear discs pitted or scored; the discs should be measured for thickness and surface condition, and the pads assessed for even wear. Tyre condition also warrants scrutiny, as several tests flagged front and rear tyres worn close to the legal limit, suggesting that replacement or rotation may be required soon. Overall, the car’s recent pass and low mileage present a positive picture, yet the history of suspension and brake wear demands hands‑on verification before purchase. A thorough inspection of the shock absorbers, suspension bushes, brake discs and pads, and tyre tread will confirm whether the vehicle’s mechanical condition aligns with its modest mileage record.
