2017 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · PY17 OFT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 85,850 miles passed, the record introduced new advisories regarding oil misting on both front shock absorbers and a puncture in the offside rear tyre. This marks a departure from the three-year period between 2022 and 2024 where the vehicle passed without any recorded defects. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per annum. Between July 2023 and June 2025, the car covered 18,657 miles, indicating a steady and predictable usage rate. A notable gap exists in the July 2023 record at 67,193 miles where the vehicle initially failed due to a loose offside front brake caliper bolt and insecure ABS wiring. These issues were addressed immediately, as evidenced by the successful retest that same day without defects. A buyer should inspect the front suspension closely, as the current oil misting indicates the beginning of damper failure which will eventually require pair replacement on both sides. The previous failure of the brake caliper and flexible pipe necessitates a thorough check of the braking assembly to ensure there are no signs of play or perished rubber. Given the age and mileage, a physical inspection for structural corrosion on the chassis and suspension arm bushes is also advisable, although these areas have not yet been flagged in the provided history.
