2015 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · ND64 CNJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following the January 2026 test at 71,688 miles, but the maintenance trend shows signs of worsening mechanical degradation. While the car passed, the tester identified multiple issues including pitted or scored offside rear brake discs and perishing inner tyres on both rear sides. The presence of an oil leak from the rear differential in this latest test, following a front oil leak in February 2025, suggests a growing pattern of fluid loss that requires closer scrutiny. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 63,668 miles in March 2023 to 71,688 miles in January 2026. This relatively low annual usage often leads to the rubber perishing and tyre cracking observed in the most recent records, as tyres can degrade from age and lack of movement even if tread depth remains sufficient. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and drivetrain. The February 2024 failure due to a binding offside rear brake, combined with the 2026 advisory for worn rear discs, indicates potential issues with caliper operation or hub assemblies. The recurring advisories for perishing tyres suggest the vehicle may have sat idle for extended periods, so a thorough check of all rubber components, including suspension bushes and coolant hoses, is necessary. The reported oil leaks at both the front and the rear differential necessitate a professional inspection to determine if these are minor seepage or significant leaks that could lead to component failure. The corrosion noted on the front brake hose ferrules in early 2024 also highlights a need to inspect the integrity of all hydraulic lines for further degradation.
