2015 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · GY65 YSN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding suspension components and emissions health. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 101,782 miles passed, it revealed multiple issues including oil misting on the offside front shock absorber and corrosion on both rear units. This represents a progression from the minor misting noted in 2021 and 2024, indicating that the damping system is reaching the end of its functional life. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,253 miles per year. There is a noticeable increase in usage between October 2022 (74,490 miles) and November 2024 (94,157 miles), where the car covered nearly 20,000 miles in two years. This period of higher activity correlates with the appearance of recurring mechanical faults, such as the exhaust system failures in 2023 and 2024, and the wear on brake components noted in 2023. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the entire suspension and braking system. The record shows a history of worn rear brake discs and thin pads, alongside a worn offside front lower suspension arm bush identified in 2024. The presence of oil leaks and corrosion on shock absorbers suggests that a full set of rear shocks may be required shortly to prevent further handling degradation. Furthermore, the high carbon monoxide and lambda sensor readings that caused failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate potential issues with the engine management system or catalytic converter that require professional verification to ensure long-term fuel efficiency and emissions compliance.
