2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · YP64 LGL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test on 11 May 2026 at 114,270 miles, it had failed just two miles prior. This failure revealed that the offside rear lower suspension arm was seriously weakened by corrosion, which required immediate attention to achieve a pass. The presence of corrosion on the nearside front coil spring and brake pipe indicates that the vehicle is beginning to suffer from age-related rust across multiple components. The recorded mileage of 114,270 miles over a twelve-year period reflects a consistent and average usage of approximately 9,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between the November 2023 test at 85,358 miles and the May 2025 test at 105,108 miles, where nearly 20,000 miles were covered. However, the recent accumulation of 9,162 miles between May 2025 and May 2026 aligns with the previously accelerated wear observed in the suspension and braking systems. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the entire chassis and suspension assembly. The history shows a recurring pattern of worn suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar ball joints dating back to 2023 and 2024. The recent failure regarding parking brake efficiency and lever movement suggests the handbrake system requires a professional adjustment or potential overhaul. Additionally, the corrosion noted on the nearside rear brake pipe and suspension arms should be monitored closely to ensure structural integrity is not progressing toward a state that would lead to further major failures.
