2015 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · SM64 XOK

The vehicle's roadworthiness is currently rated as Pass, but the maintenance history indicates a clear trend of worsening condition. The most recent inspection on 2026-01-26 at 65,103 miles passed without defects, establishing a baseline. However, this performance was lost in the early 2026 test at 65,016 miles, where the tester flagged excessively binding rear brakes and a binding front brake disc that had been worn and scored. This 10,000-mile gap suggests the vehicle has not undergone adequate servicing, with the binding condition likely worsening in subsequent tests. Regarding the mileage pattern, the data points are sparse and uneven. The vehicle was tested on 2026-01-26 at 65,103 miles and again on 2026-01-22 at 65,016 miles. While the final reading is lower, the gap between the two tests indicates a significant accumulation of wear, particularly on the brake components and suspension, rather than a gradual decline in performance. The mileage is low for an 11-year-old model, which is unusual for a vehicle in such a state, suggesting potential underutilization or a lack of regular maintenance despite the poor mechanical condition. Given the recurring faults and the structural risks identified, the buyer must inspect the vehicle personally to assess suspension integrity, brake disc wear, and structural rust. The binding brakes and worn discs indicate that the suspension and braking systems require immediate replacement, as the vehicle has not been serviced in a standard manner. Furthermore, the tyre damage and cut on the front wheel require inspection for cracks or ply breaks, which could lead to sudden failure if not addressed. The buyer should verify the structural integrity of the chassis and exhaust emissions, as the vehicle has been tested and failed on multiple occasions, suggesting a potential need for professional diagnostics to rule out hidden mechanical issues.
