2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · OV14 HMK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend showing early signs of suspension component wear. The most recent test on 4 May 2026 at 72,933 miles produced an advisory for a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates that rubber components are beginning to reach their service limit. This follows two years of clean records between 2023 and 2025, suggesting the vehicle has been generally maintained without major mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the May 2023 test at 53,614 miles and the May 2026 test at 72,933 miles, the car covered 19,319 miles, representing a steady usage profile. This low annual mileage typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine, though the age of the vehicle can still lead to the degradation of hoses and seals regardless of the distance driven. A buyer should inspect the front suspension closely in person to assess the condition of the nearside arm bush. The history shows a failure in May 2023 for an excessively worn offside front bush, which was clearly repaired given the subsequent passes. However, the new advisory suggests the opposite side is now deteriorating. A physical inspection should also check for corrosion on the subframe and exhaust-related mounting points, as these are common areas of concern for Skoda models of this era that are not always captured until they becomes significant.
