2015 Skoda Yeti 1.6L Diesel · ST15 ACT

The vehicle presents as currently roadworthy following a clean pass on 17 July 2026 at 98,517 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of gradual mechanical wear, particularly regarding the suspension system, though the most recent test indicates these issues have been addressed or have not progressed to a failure state. While the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record, the history reveals a recurring pattern of shock absorber issues that has persisted for several years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical private use pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,956 miles per year. The data shows steady annual progression from 27,758 miles in July 2018 to the current 98,517 miles. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate risks associated with seized components or perished rubber, though the 2020 test did flag perished rear tyres. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the front suspension and braking components. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with stained shock absorbers, first noted in August 2020 and appearing in various forms through 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025. Although the 2026 test recorded no defects, the presence of corrosion on rear spring lower arms and deteriorating front disc inner faces in the July 2025 test at 90,066 miles suggests that the chassis and braking hardware are subject to environmental degradation. The 2025 advisory regarding a 20kg pulse from the offside front disc indicates a potential for brake judder or disc thickness issues. Although the most recent certificate is clear, the history of suspension staining and corrosion on lower arms warrants a thorough underside inspection to ensure no structural or component-level deterioration has been overlooked.
