2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · SM63 UBJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding the suspension and structural components. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 114,737 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories including a misting offside front shock absorber and a corroded offside rear coil spring. The presence of corrosion on the rear sub-frame indicates that the chassis is beginning to show age-related degradation, though it has not yet reached a structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. There was a significant gap of 16,300 miles between October 2022 and April 2024, followed by a steady accumulation of roughly 11,000 miles per year through to the 2026 test. This consistent usage suggests the car has seen regular use, which explains the progressive wear on consumables like tyres and suspension components identified across the 2025 and 2026 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and suspension arms to assess the progression of the corrosion noted since 2022. The 2024 failure involving ABS and electronic stability control faults suggests previous electrical or sensor issues that should be verified as resolved to ensure they were permanent repairs and not intermittent. The recurring issues with uneven tyre wear noted in both 2025 and 2026 indicate a persistent alignment problem or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention. The misting shock absorber should also be monitored as oil leakage often precedes total seal failure.
