2012 Skoda Yeti 1.6L Diesel · KM12 CVN

The current roadworthiness status of this Skoda Yeti is satisfactory, confirmed by the clean pass on March 19, 2026. The maintenance trend shows a transition from minor consumable wear to more significant mechanical repairs as the vehicle has aged. While the car passed its most recent inspection without advisories, the failure two days prior for a fractured offside rear coil spring and an oil leak indicates that the vehicle is now entering a phase where structural and drivetrain components require closer monitoring. The prompt rectification of these failures suggests the previous owner addressed essential repairs to maintain compliance. The vehicle has covered 125,774 miles over fourteen years, averaging approximately 8,984 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent and suggests the car has been used for regular commuting or general transport rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The mileage accumulation remained steady throughout its history, with no unusual gaps or spikes that would indicate long-term storage or excessive commercial use. The consistent annual testing cycle reflects a vehicle that has been kept within the standard UK maintenance regime. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these areas have flagged recurring issues. The history of worn suspension arm bushes noted in 2024 and the recent coil spring failure suggest the chassis components are reaching the end of their service life. Check for any lingering stiffness in the handbrake mechanism, which was previously flagged, and inspect the engine bay for signs of the oil leak mentioned in the 2026 failure. While the brake discs have been noted as worn or pitted in previous years, ensure the current stopping performance is sharp and free from judder, as these components are clearly subject to regular wear given the vehicle's mileage.
