2013 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · LR13 OBX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening trajectory regarding mechanical components and alignment. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 136,682 miles passed, it flagged both nearside and offside front drive shaft constant velocity boots as severely deteriorated. This represents a shift from the previous years' focus on minor consumable issues to more significant mechanical wear that could lead to drivetrain failure if not addressed immediately. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 103,111 miles and the March 2026 test at 136,682 miles, the car covered 33,571 miles, indicating a steady rate of use without long periods of statage. However, the data from 2023 to 2025 shows a persistent failure to address tyre geometry issues across three consecutive annual inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and alignment. The recurring advisories for inner tyres worn to the legal limit in 2023, 2024, and 2025 suggest a chronic issue with camber, toe, or worn suspension arm bushes that the previous owners ignored. Furthermore, the newly deteriorated CV boots require an immediate inspection to check for grease leakage and joint play; if the grease has entered the joints, the cost of repair will increase significantly beyond a simple rubber boot replacement.
