2014 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · MAZ 103

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following the most recent MOT pass on 28 July 2026 at 35,778 miles. While the vehicle passed, the tester flagged thin offside front outer brake pads and a nail in the nearside front tyre. These issues represent minor consumable wear rather than systemic mechanical failure. The history shows a recurring pattern of minor advisories regarding tyres and brakes, suggesting a maintenance approach focused on addressing faults only when they reach the threshold of legal non-compliance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,982 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, steady accumulation of distance from 12,150 miles in June 2017 to the current 35,778 miles. This low usage pattern suggests the car has seen light use or has been subject to long periods of inactivity. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain, it can sometimes lead to issues such as perished rubber components or seized calipers due to lack of regular operation. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The record shows a trend of brake-related advisories, specifically the worn front discs noted in July 2025 at 33,434 miles and the thinning pads noted in July 2026. It is essential to check for uneven pad wear or any signs of binding calipers. The recurring issues with tyres, such as the edge wear noted in 2021 and 2023, suggest the vehicle may have experienced minor alignment issues or uneven loading over time. Beyond the documented advisories, the lack of recorded structural corrosion or suspension defects is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. However, given the low annual mileage, you should specifically inspect the underside for surface rust and check that all rubber bushings and wiper blades are in good condition. The failure in August 2022 regarding the windscreen wiper indicates a minor maintenance oversight that has since been resolved, but it reinforces the need to check all external consumables.
