2010 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · WF10 VXZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs and recurring mechanical faults. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 74,371 miles passed, the immediate failure just one mile prior highlighted significant electronic issues. The presence of ABS and electronic stability control fault lights, combined with a binding offside rear brake and thin pads, indicates that critical safety-related systems were ignored until the test itself. This suggests an owner who only addresses faults when forced by failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 74,371 miles, this sixteen-year-old Skoda shows exceptionally low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,650 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear, which is evident in the record. Between June 2023 and July 2024, the vehicle covered only 2,707 miles, yet it failed due to perished tyres and corroded coil springs. This pattern suggests the car sits stationary frequently, leading to dry rot and corrosion despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the offside rear brake assembly, as binding has been a recurring failure across three consecutive years. The tester also flagged worn front suspension arm bushes in 2024, which should be checked for further play or rubber tearing. Given the documented history of corrosion on the rear coil springs, the structural integrity of the suspension needs verification, as these components are prone to snapping on vehicles of this age. Finally, the ABS and stability control faults reported in 2025 must be verified with a proper diagnostic scan to ensure the underlying electronic issue was rectified rather than merely cleared.
