2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · WK14 NNW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in February 2026 at 53,621 miles. However, the recent maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair rather than proactive care. The car failed just one day prior to its 2026 test due to a significantly worn offside rear brake disc and a pitted nearside rear disc. While these specific faults were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, the history indicates that the previous owner only addressed braking components once they reached a point of failure. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 53,621 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,468 miles per year. This low-use profile often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear. The MOT data shows consistent annual usage of roughly 4,000 miles between 2023 and 2026, which suggests the vehicle has sat for long periods between tests. Such inactivity is likely the primary cause of the pitting and corrosion observed on the brake discs noted in multiple test records. A buyer should closely inspect the rear braking system and suspension geometry to ensure the recurring issues have been fully resolved. The record flags 2024 and 2025 defects involving worn front suspension arm bushes, damaged track rod end dust covers, and worn rear suspension bushes. These components are prone to age-related perishation and cracking despite the low mileage. A physical inspection to check for further cracks in the rubber bushings and play in the steering joints is essential, as the history suggests these areas are recurring points of failure for this specific vehicle.
