2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · YN64 EEG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in January 2026 at 86,327 miles passed but highlighted two advisories regarding an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit and a deteriorated central rear registration plate. This follows a failure in early 2024 where both front tyres failed the test for having tread depths below the 1.6mm threshold. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 22,469 miles, representing a steady usage rate of roughly 7,500 miles annually. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary use which often leads to perished seals and brake corrosion, though the lack of recorded defects prior to 2024 indicates that the owner only addressed consumable items when prompted by an inspection failure. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension alignment, as the recurring edge wear on the offside front tyre noted in 2026 often points to worn or damaged suspension bushes and incorrect geometry. The corroded nearside rear coil spring flagged in January 2023 at 63,858 miles warrants a close look at the remaining springs and the mounting points to ensure surface rust has not spread to the chassis. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the exhaust system and underbody is also necessary to confirm that structural integrity is not compromised beyond the minor surface issues noted in the MOT history.
