2011 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · LD11 RCV

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 19 June 2026. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with a consistent history of passes and only one recorded failure in 2021. That failure was limited to a minor suspension component which was addressed promptly. While there have been recurring advisories regarding tyre wear over the last five years, the vehicle has not shown any major structural or critical mechanical failures, suggesting a baseline level of routine upkeep. With 103,209 miles recorded over approximately fifteen years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 6,881 miles per year. This represents a typical usage profile for a vehicle of this age, indicating it has neither been excessively worked nor left to deteriorate through prolonged standing. At this mileage, a buyer should expect normal wear on high-friction consumables and rubber components, but the drivetrain should remain robust provided the service intervals have been adhered to. Particular attention should be paid to the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of tyres wearing close to the legal limit or wearing unevenly on the edges. During a test drive, listen for any abnormal road noise and visually inspect the tread depth and shoulder wear of all four tyres. Uneven wear often points to worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking, which can lead to premature tyre failure. The previous failure of the anti-roll bar linkage suggests that the front end should be checked for any clunks or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces. Given the vehicle is fifteen years old, a comprehensive physical inspection is necessary regardless of the MOT status. Verify the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical time-and-mileage items for this model. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur even with average mileage. Finally, inspect all rubber seals and hoses for perishing or cracking, and confirm the health of the 12V battery to ensure reliable starting and electrical stability.
