2013 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · YC63 BWV

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state, evidenced by a clean pass during the latest inspection in May 2026 at 78,974 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a period of recurring mechanical issues. While previous tests frequently flagged wear in the suspension and braking, the absence of advisories in the most recent report suggests that the owner has recently addressed the outstanding faults identified in the preceding years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage older vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between April 2019 and June 2020, where the car covered only 6,488 miles. Since 2020, usage has remained steady, with increments of roughly 6,000 to 7,500 miles annually. This low annual mileage explains the specific age-related degradation of rubber components seen in the history rather than high mileage-related fatigue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, as the record shows a persistent history of worn anti-roll bar linkage ball joints appearing repeatedly between 2020 and 2025. The nearside front shock absorbers also showed signs of oil misting back in 2019 and 2022; these should be checked for active leaks which would indicate imminent failure. Additionally, the nearside front CV boot was flagged as severely deteriorated in 2023, necessitating a visual check for grease leakage or drive joint play. The braking system has required multiple interventions, with binding calipers and pitted discs noted frequently between 2019 and 2021. Although the 2024 test identified corrosion on the front brake hose ferrrules, the buyer must verify these hoses are free from bulging or structural decay. Given the history of cracking and perishing tyres in 2023 and 2025, the current tyre compound should be inspected for sidewall rot, as the low mileage often leads to rubber drying out before the tread depth is exhausted.
