2015 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · P123 AAA

A relatively clean roadworthiness profile defines this vehicle, characterized by a recent pass on 01 April 2026 with no recorded defects. While the history shows an isolated failure in April 2023 due to a fractured offside front coil spring, the subsequent tests indicate a trend of resolving mechanical issues rather than a pattern of recurring structural or component failure. The presence of minor advisories for a defective windscreen wiper blade in 2025 and tyre perishing in 2024 suggests that while the primary mechanical systems have been compliant, consumable items have required attention over the last three years. The recorded mileage of 52,216 miles for an eleven-year-old vehicle represents a low annual accumulation rate of approximately 4,747 miles. This usage pattern is significantly below the UK average, which can imply less frequent mechanical wear on high-friction components such as the drivetrain and braking system. However, such low annual mileage can also mean the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, which may impact the condition of rubber components and seals. The consistency of the MOT testing intervals suggests the vehicle has been in regular use rather than undergoing long-term storage. Prospective buyers should pay specific attention to the suspension and tyre condition during a test drive. Given the 2023 failure of the offside front coil spring, it is advisable to listen for any metallic knocking or clunking sounds when driving over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, which could indicate further issues with suspension mounts or bushes. The 2024 advisory regarding nearside front tyre cracking or perishing warrants a close visual inspection of the sidewalls for any signs of further degradation or bulging. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory regarding thin rear brake pads should be cross-referenced with the current braking performance. During a test drive, check for any pedal judder or uneven braking pull, particularly when applying pressure at lower speeds, to ensure the rear braking system is performing within acceptable parameters. While the most recent test in 2026 showed no defects, verifying the current thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the discs is a necessary step given the previous warning.
