2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · SA64 WDN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of deferred suspension and brake repairs. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 17,235 miles, the car failed due to a worn nearside front suspension arm bush and corroded rear suspension arms. While it passed upon re-test, the tester noted pitted and scored brake discs, indicating that the owner is only addressing components once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, with only 17,235 miles recorded, averaging to roughly 1,436 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with environmental degradation rather than mechanical wear, as seen in the rust-related issues. Between August 2023 and September 2025, the car covered just 1,513 miles, yet suffered from a fractured coil spring and multiple suspension failures. This suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, allowing moisture to settle and rubber components to perish despite the low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the undercarriage to assess the progressing corrosion. The record shows corrosion on the rear suspension arms appearing in 2023 and persisting through 2025. While the tester classified these as not seriously weakened, the recurring nature of these faults on a low-mileage car suggests the environment may be harsh. You should also check the front brake discs for deep pitting and verify that the engine undertray mentioned in previous tests is not concealing structural rust on the critical mounting points.
