2013 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · X90 SAS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in September 2025 at 48,048 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of instability regarding electronic and mechanical components. The car failed just six days prior to that pass due to an inoperative engine malfunction indicator lamp and a faulty electronic stability control warning lamp. While these issues were rectified to secure the pass, the appearance of multiple electrical faults suggests potential sensor or module failures that may require further diagnostic attention to ensure long-term electronic reliability. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. There is a notable usage gap between April 2024 and September 2025, where the car covered only 2,614 miles over seventeen months. This low-frequency use often leads to the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear. This is evidenced by the 2019 record where all four tyres were perished and cracked despite the low mileage, suggesting the vehicle may sit stationary for extended periods which accelerates material. A buyer must specifically inspect the offside front drive shaft area, as the CV boot has failed or deteriorated twice since 2019, most recently in April 2024. Repeated failures of this component indicate either physical damage or premature wear of the joint itself. Additionally, the history of pitted rear brake discs in 2019 and worn tyre edges in 2022 necessitates a thorough check for brake corrosion and uneven suspension wear or alignment issues, which are common in low-mileage vehicles that are not driven frequently.
