2015 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · SV65 KMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing age-related component degradation. In the most recent test in April 2026 at 57,372 miles, the tester identified corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear lower suspension arms. While these were not deemed seriously weakened at the time, this entry marks the beginning of structural wear that requires close monitoring to prevent future failure of the suspension geometry. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, moving from 36,851 miles in September 2022 to 57,372 miles in April 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the car has seen light use on the drivetrain and engine, but long periods of standing often lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and the onset of surface corrosion, which aligns with the issues noted in the later records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, specifically the light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber which appeared in both 2023 and 2024. This indicates a seal is beginning to fail and will likely require replacement soon. Additionally, the rear brake discs were flagged as pitted and scored in 2023 at 42,025 miles; the buyer must verify if these were replaced or if the condition continues to deteriorate. Given the corrosion on the lower suspension arms, a thorough check of the mounting points and structural integrity is necessary to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond surface level.
