2012 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · GDZ 53

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend following a previous mechanical failure. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 68,079 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory for thin front brake pads. This indicates that while consumable components are reaching the end of their service life, the core mechanical and structural elements have remained without significant defects for the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,863 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the years, moving from 57,748 miles in October 2022 to 68,079 miles in late 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has undergone less overall wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases the likelihood of perish rot in rubber hoses and brake corrosion if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods between tests. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system based on the failure recorded in October 2022 at 57,747 miles, where the offside rear service brake was found excessively binding. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, the thin front pads noted in 2025 necessitate an immediate physical inspection of the rotors and calipers to ensure no uneven wear or seizing has occurred. Given the age of the Yeti, a thorough check of suspension bushes and structural corrosion is also essential, as low mileage does not protect against environment-related decay.
