2010 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · PX59 EYP

The most recent MOT on 2025-09-12 showed the vehicle passed with 162,789 miles, but a prior failure on 2025-09-05 revealed significant issues. The failure included a windscreen damaged enough to impair the driver’s view, a windscreen washer system with insufficient fluid, and two rear tyres with severe wear or structural damage. These defects suggest neglect or unresolved maintenance concerns. The failure occurred just seven days before the subsequent pass, indicating repairs were likely made, but the proximity raises questions about the vehicle’s reliability. Recurring tyre issues dominate the history. Both 2023 and 2025 MOTs highlighted tyres worn close to legal limits or damaged (ply exposure). This pattern implies inconsistent tyre maintenance or potential suspension/alignment problems affecting even wear. The 2025 failure also noted an offside rear tyre with ply exposure, a safety risk that requires immediate attention. While the 2025 pass suggests these were addressed, the frequency of such issues indicates a systemic vulnerability. The vehicle’s age (16 years) and mileage (162,789 miles) align with an average annual usage of ~10,174 miles, which is typical for its age.
