2017 SKODA YETI1.2L Petrol

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 April 2026 at 50,004 miles, but the record shows a clear downward trend in mechanical condition compared to the clean results seen in 2024 and 2025. While the car remains legally roadworthy, the April 2026 test flagged several issues across the suspension, tyres, and braking system that were entirely absent in previous years. This sudden accumulation of advisories suggests that the vehicle's components are beginning to reach a stage of wear that requires proactive maintenance to prevent future failures. The mileage pattern indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The vehicle covered 6,486 miles between April 2025 and April 2026, which is a slight increase over the 6,514 miles recorded between April 2024 and April 2025. This low-mileage profile often results in vehicles sitting idle for periods, which can contribute to the surface corrosion and tyre perishing noted in the 2023 and 2026 records. The data shows consistent annual testing without significant gaps in the inspection history. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and chassis. The April 2026 test identified a worn offside front suspension arm bush and corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear lower suspension arms. Although the tester noted the corrosion was not seriously weakened, the presence of rust on structural components at this mileage warrants close scrutiny to ensure it does not progress. The pitted and scored front brake discs also indicate that the braking hardware is nearing the end of its service life. Tyre condition is another area of concern. The record shows a recurring pattern of tyre issues, ranging from cracking and perishing in 2023 to near-limit tread depths and nails in 2026. The offside front tyre was recorded at just 3mm of tread, while the nearside front was at 2mm. Given these findings, a buyer should budget for a full set of new tyres and a thorough check of the suspension bushings and brake discs to rectify the issues flagged in the most recent inspection.
