2013 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · YR63 YMP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 78,862 miles passed, the tester flagged all four tyres as worn to the legal limit or showing uneven wear. This suggests a failure to address basic consumable items before the inspection. The previous failure in March 2025 followed immediately by a pass just four days later indicates that mechanical repairs are only addressed once they cause a test failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. There is a notable gap of 10,000 miles recorded between March 2024 (58,040 miles) and March 2025 (68,130 miles), which represents a period of higher activity compared to the average. However, the low annual mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the perishing and cracking of tyres noted in the 2023 record. A buyer must pay close attention to the suspension geometry, given the fractured coil spring recorded in 2025 and the recurring edge wear on tyres across 2023 and 2026. These faults often indicate alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. The deteriorated offside front outer CV boot noted in 2025 should be physically inspected for grease leakage or further tearing, as these components eventually lead to expensive drive shaft failure. Additionally, ensure the adult seatbelts are fully accessible, as the child seat previously obstructed a complete inspection of the safety equipment.
