2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · SA64 WDM

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until October 2026, with the most recent test identifying only slight play in the nearside rear anti-roll bar linkage—a minor wear issue that requires monitoring but does not represent an immediate failure risk. The brake disc wear from two years ago has not worsened, indicating that the previous owner addressed the friction material replacement or that the discs remain within acceptable limits. The maintenance history shows a stable condition, with no critical defects appearing since 2023. At 63,576 miles in 12 years, the vehicle has accumulated only 5,298 miles annually, which is significantly lower than the national average. This low annual usage suggests the car has experienced minimal mechanical stress, though it also raises the possibility of extended periods of inactivity, which can cause issues with rubber components and fluids. The MOT records are relatively clean, with only two minor defects in five tests, both of which appear to have been rectified. A buyer should arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection to verify the brake disc condition, as the previous wear could have led to uneven surfaces or warping. Additionally, the nearside front shock absorber oil misting from 2021 indicates a potential seal leak that may worsen. Inspect the suspension bushes for any signs of cracking or compression, and check the steering components for excessive play. Finally, given the low mileage and extended storage risk, examine the underbody for any signs of corrosion or fluid leaks around the engine and transmission.
