2015 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · GF15 CTK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in November 2025, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend regarding structural integrity. A critical failure just two days prior to the most recent pass showed that both the nearside and offside rear suspension arms were corroded and seriously weakened. While these components were replaced to pass the re-test at 96,188 miles, the presence of significant corrosion on structural suspension members suggests the vehicle is beginning to suffer from environmental wear. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 75,796 miles in May 2022 to 96,188 miles by November 2025. This consistent interval suggests the car has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent brake caliper seizing and fluid degradation. However, the low annual mileage relative to the age of the car accelerates the degradation of rubber bushes and metal components regardless of the total distance driven. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the entire suspension assembly to ensure the recent repair to the rear arms was thorough. The history also notes previous issues with a nearside front brake bind and a play in the anti-roll bar linkage ball joint from 2024, which should be checked for lingering symptoms or uneven brake pad wear. Given the recent failure due to corroded suspension arms, a close visual inspection of the underbody and mounting points is necessary to determine if rust is isolated or affecting other areas of the chassis.
