2010 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · SP10 HBB

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test on June 2026 at 135,998 miles was a pass, it revealed new corrosion issues on the offside rear lower suspension arm and wear on both front tyres. This follows a failure in June 2025 for a broken coil spring and a torn CV boot, indicating that components across the suspension and drivetrain are now reaching the end of their service life simultaneously. At 135,998 miles over 16 years, the Yeti averages approximately 8,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows a consistent interval of testing between 2023 and 2026, with the vehicle covering roughly 5,000 miles in the last year. However, the transition from a clean record in 2024 at 123,074 miles to multiple failures in 2025 suggests that the age-related wear of rubber and metal components is accelerating despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must specifically inspect the front-end suspension and drivetrain, as the record shows a recurring history with CV boots, drive shaft joints, and anti-roll bar links. The slight wear on both outer drive shaft joints in the 2026 test suggests these components will soon require replacement to prevent a total mechanical failure. Furthermore, the corrosion on the offside rear suspension arm requires a close physical check to ensure structural integrity has not progressed beyond the advisory level noted by the tester.
