2011 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · YR11 SYC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward stability following a significant failure in 2022. The most recent test in August 2025 at 98,842 miles passed with only a minor advisory for light misting on the offside front shock absorber. This indicates that while components are beginning to show signs of age-related wear, the critical mechanical failures regarding the brakes and suspension in previous years appear to have been addressed by the owner. At 98,842 miles over a 15-year span, the Yeti averages approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between the October 2024 test and another 10,000 miles by August 2025. This steady mileage accumulation suggests regular driving cycles rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber seals and mechanical components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system given the history of recurring faults. The 2022 failure highlighted multiple issues including a binding offside rear brake caliper, thin pads, and a damaged anti-roll bar linkage. While the vehicle passed since then, the current advisory on the misting front shock absorber suggests the suspension system is nearing the end of its functional life. Additionally, the repeated history of edge-wear on the nearside front tyre in 2022 and 2023 indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushings that should be verified to prevent premature tyre degradation.
