2016 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · AJ65 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes following a single failure. The latest test in January 2026 at 122,455 miles showed the car passing with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet the minimum standard. While the failure in early 2023 suggests a past lapse, the subsequent clean records imply the issues were addressed immediately and the vehicle has maintained consistent standards since. The mileage data reflects a high-intensity usage pattern, averaging approximately 12,200 miles per year over its decade-long life. Between January 2024 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 19,318 miles, showing a consistent rate of accumulation that suggests regular long-distance motorway use. This high mileage typically puts accelerated wear on mechanical components such as the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and brake assemblies. The lack of advisories in the last three tests is notable given this mileage, suggesting the previous owners have been proactive with maintenance rather than waiting for component failures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage fatigue. Given the 122,455-mile mark, a thorough check of the front shock absorbers for leaks and the condition of the control arm bushes is essential. The brake discs should be inspected for thinning or deep scoring, as the high annual mileage places significant stress on the braking system. Although the MOT record is currently clean, the underside should be examined for corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points to ensure the high-frequency use has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
