2013 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · NA63 PXT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on February 5, 2026, 79,930 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of instability regarding the braking and suspension systems. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the tester identified corrosion on the offside rear suspension arm. Although this did not meet the threshold for a failure, it marks the beginning of structural degradation that will require close monitoring to prevent a future MOT failjection as the metal continues to oxidize. At 13 years old with 79,930 miles, the Yeti averages approximately 6,150 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family vehicle. The record shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 7,700 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 7,800 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady mileage suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals, despite the perishing tyres noted earlier in the history. A buyer must pay close attention to the recurring brake and electronic issues. The record indicates a history of binding service brakes on both the nearside and offside rear calipers across 2024 and 2025. More critically, the vehicle failed in January 2025 due to simultaneous ABS and electronic stability control warning lamps. While the car passed the following month, a professional professional diagnostic scan is essential to ensure these electronic faults were properly rectified and are not indicative of a failing sensor or module that is likely to return. The suspension also warrants a physical inspection. The corrosion found on the offside rear suspension arm in early 2026 and the oil misting on the offside front shock absorber reported in 2024 suggest that suspension components are reaching the end of their lifecycle. Given the previous report of perished tyres in 2024, the buyer should also check the sidewalls for dry cracking, as the low annual mileage often leads to rubber aging without sufficient tread depth.
