2016 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · KY16 RYH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding structural and mechanical corrosion. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 75,846 miles passed, it identified corrosion on the front sub-frame. This represents a progression from the previous issues noted in February 2024, where both rear suspension arms were also flagged for corrosion. The presence of these recurring defects suggests the chassis is experiencing accelerated oxidation. The mileage profile remains consistent with the ten-year age bracket, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year over the 75,846 total miles recorded. There is a notable increase in usage between February 2023 at 50,392 miles and February 2024 at 60,815 miles, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in a single year. This period of higher activity coincides with the appearance of multiple mechanical faults, including a failure due to an inoperative engine management light and various corroded brake components. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the depth of the rust on the sub-frame and suspension arms. The 2024 failure regarding the offside front brake pipe, which was covered in grease, indicates a potential attempt to hide corrosion or poor attention to fluid line integrity. Furthermore, the 2025 advisories for three tyres worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear suggest a neglect of basic consumable maintenance or potential alignment issues that require professional verification.
