2014 Skoda Yeti 1.6L Diesel · NG14 KFV

The most recent MOT on 2023-11-24 shows the vehicle failed due to headlamp aim issues and tyre wear. Both front tyres were recorded as worn close to the legal limit, with edge wear, while the headlamps had incorrect beam projection and low aim. A separate passed MOT on the same date noted identical tyre defects, suggesting these were not resolved between tests. This indicates ongoing tyre condition concerns and unresolved lighting system alignment. Recurring issues include headlamp aim problems, first recorded in 2022 and repeated in 2023. Tyre wear near legal limits appeared in 2023 but not in earlier MOTs, though 2021 noted minor defects like a broken reflector and non-working side light. The 2022 MOT included a failed headlamp issue, while 2021 had multiple small faults. These suggest intermittent maintenance rather than a single systemic failure, but the persistence of headlamp problems raises concerns about consistent servicing. The vehicle’s condition trend shows no clear worsening in critical areas, but the 2023 failures highlight unresolved issues. The high mileage of 166,159 miles (13,847 per year) for a 12-year-old car implies significant use, which could accelerate wear on tyres, suspension, and lighting systems.
