2011 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Petrol · OY11 YUL

The most recent MOT on 2025-03-14 showed the vehicle passed with several noted issues, including rear brake disc wear, a minor oil leak, front steering rack play, and rear suspension corrosion. However, a failed MOT just eight days earlier (2025-03-06) revealed more severe concerns: nearside and offside rear anti-roll bar ball joints at risk of detachment, tyre tread below legal limits, brake pads thinner than 1.5mm, and a serious shock absorber fluid leak. These failures suggest critical safety risks were present shortly before the pass, likely requiring urgent repairs. Recurring mechanical patterns include brake disc wear, oil leaks, and suspension corrosion. Brake discs were flagged in 2024-02-08 and 2025-03-14, with pitting and heat cracks noted. Suspension corrosion and shock absorber damage appeared in multiple MOTs, including a serious fluid leak in 2025-03-06. Tyre tread issues also recurred, indicating potential neglect in maintenance. While some issues (like oil leaks) are minor, the repeated suspension and brake problems point to ongoing wear or insufficient servicing. The trend shows worsening risks over time. The 2025-03-06 failure included multiple critical defects not seen in earlier MOTs, such as anti-roll bar joints at risk of detachment and severe brake pad wear.
