2012 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · SB12 WVD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 9 June 2026 at 67,830 miles. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement phase following a significant failure in July 2023. While the 2023 test identified multiple critical failures, the lack of defects in the most recent inspection indicates that the previous owner has addressed the primary mechanical and safety issues that had previously flagged the vehicle for repair. At 67,830 miles, this 14-year-old Skoda shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,845 miles per year. The data indicates a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 3,300 miles driven between the July 2025 and 2026 tests. This low mileage typically suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, though it often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components and age-related corrosion due to the vehicle sitting for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the lower suspension and braking systems, as these have shown recurring issues. The 2024 and 2025 tests flagged corrosion on the brake hoses and slight play in the offside front ball joint, alongside surface rust on the rear suspension arms. A buyer must verify that the corroded brake hoses have been replaced and check that the corrosion on the suspension arms has not progressed into structural weakness. Given the 2023 failure involving a leaking shock absorber and fractured coil spring, a thorough check of all remaining dampers and springs is necessary to ensure no further neglected components remain.
