2015 Skoda Yeti 1.6L Diesel · SM64 XOL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the car passed the January 2026 test at 120,377 miles, it failed just two miles prior due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring and a damaged mirror. The trend across the last three years suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The recurring presence of brake wear and tyre issues indicates a pattern of neglecting consumable components until their absolute limit. At 120,377 miles over 11 years, the Yeti averages approximately 11,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a family vehicle. The mileage accumulation shows consistent growth, with roughly 9,400 miles covered between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, and another 8,700 miles between 2024 and 2025. This steady use suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which explains the consistent wear on the suspension and braking components noted throughout the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The 2026 test flagged thin front brake pads and worn discs, while the 2025 failure noted a fluctuating offside rear service brake. These entries suggest potential issues with sticking calipers or warped rotors. Furthermore, the non-excessive oil leak mentioned in the most recent test requires a close-up inspection to determine if it is a simple gasket leak or a more significant engine seal failure. Given the history of fractured springs and uneven tyre wear, the entire underbody should be checked for bushing degradation and alignment issues to ensure no further hidden structural weaknesses remain.
