2016 SKODA YETI2.0L Diesel

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 7 April 2025 at 77,589 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests show the same clean outcome, with passes logged at 72,323 miles on 17 April 2024, 67,247 miles on 4 May 2023, and 63,090 miles on 5 May 2022. The April 2024 entry also lists a fail at 72,323 miles with no defects recorded, a known DVSA anomaly where a duplicate or administrative reversal occurred on the same day; the subsequent pass confirms the vehicle held a valid certificate. Annual mileage averages 7,759 across the recorded span, matching typical use for a 2016 vehicle. The owner added roughly 4,233 miles between May 2022 and May 2023, then 5,076 miles to April 2024, and 5,266 miles to April 2025. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across any test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable wear and hidden structural integrity. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from age-related degradation such as perished rubber mounts or early subframe corrosion unseen during the test bay check. Verify the brake calipers operate free of binding and confirm the exhaust system remains sound, as ten years of service can mask intermittent faults not captured in a single annual test. Given the duplicate fail-pass on 17 April 2024 carried zero recorded defects, previous ownership suggests competent basic upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. The clean sheet across five years implies the Yeti was serviced to MOT standard, though pre-purchase checks on drivetrain condition and underbody rust remain prudent.
