2015 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · SH15 NWO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 February 2026 at 76,316 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears inconsistent. While the car passed cleanly in February 2026, it failed the previous day due to a major exhaust leak and a fractured nearside front coil spring. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where critical failures are only addressed when they trigger an MOT failure. The mileage is typical for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 6,938 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady, rising from 36,510 miles in April 2018 to 76,316 miles by February 2026. There are no significant gaps in the testing history or sudden spikes in usage that would indicate abnormal wear or periods of prolonged standing. A buyer must scrutinise the rear sub-frame for corrosion. This issue has been a recurring advisory since September 2022 at 64,302 miles and remained on the record through February 2024 at 68,281 miles. Although the tester noted it was not seriously weakened, the persistence of this advisory indicates an ongoing structural degradation that requires professional assessment to ensure it has not progressed. The braking system also shows a history of instability. In February 2024, the vehicle failed on both service and parking brake efficiency, alongside binding rear brakes. A nearside front brake binding advisory persisted into January 2025 at 71,836 miles. Given these repeated flags, a physical inspection of the calipers and brake hoses is necessary to confirm the system is operating smoothly and is not prone to seizing.
