2017 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · WD17 MDU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing minor suspension issues. The most recent test in July 2025 at 95,634 miles passed with an advisory for a light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber. This is a recurring issue, first noted in July 2023 at 79,140 miles, indicating that the component is progressing slowly towards a functional failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,600 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 11,759 miles between the August 2022 and July 2023 tests, followed by a 7,799-mile interval between 2023 and 2024. This steady usage suggests the car has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods, which generally explains the standard wear patterns on rubber and braking components seen throughout the record. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension, as the persistent oil leak on the nearside shock absorber suggests the seal is nearing the end of its life. The 2022 failure revealed significant wear on the rear brake pads and a pitted offside disc, and while these were rectified, the current state of the remaining braking hardware should be checked to ensure they are not approaching the limits of service again. Additionally, the history of tyre damage and perishing in 2022 and 2023 necessitates a check of sidewalls for dry rot or impact damage to ensure the current set is safe.
