2014 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · LD64 DFY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving trend in maintenance standards. The most recent test in April 2026 at 69,282 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previously identified concerns have been addressed. This transition from multiple advisories in 2023 to a defect free sheet suggests the current ownership is proactive in rectifying faults flagged by the tester. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,774 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between November 2024 and November 2025, where the car covered over 11,000 miles in just twelve months. Conversely, the more recent interval between November 2025 and April 2026 shows only 2,905 miles driven. Low annual mileage often causes rubber-based components to perish or perish due to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and tyre components which have shown recurring issues. The December 2023 test at 54,371 miles flagged a leaking nearside shock absorber and corrosion on the offside rear suspension arm. While these passed in subsequent tests, a buyer should verify that the corrosion has not progressed structurally and that the shock absorber seal remains dry. Additionally, the history of cracking and perishing tyres in 2023 and 2024 suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, necessitating a close check of the tyre sidewalls for dry rot regardless of remaining tread depth.
