2015 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · LS13 LOR

The 2015 Škoda Yeti has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 30 October 2025—just nine months prior to today’s date. No defects were recorded in any of these tests, indicating that the vehicle has passed all mandatory DVSA checks without fail. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend, though the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude underlying issues that may not have been visually apparent during testing. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions standards and structural integrity has remained unchallenged, but the absence of any recorded faults does not equate to comprehensive long-term maintenance—only that it has passed the minimum legal thresholds at each test. The recorded mileage of 28,295 miles over nearly 11 years—approximately 2,572 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, particularly given the typical wear patterns observed in similarly aged SUVs. The gap between tests is consistent, with roughly 12-month intervals between inspections, yet the mileage increments are minimal: just 5,424 miles over three years (2022–2025). Such low annual mileage may imply limited use, extended periods of storage, or potential odometer tampering, though the latter cannot be confirmed without further evidence. The uniformity of the mileage figures also suggests the vehicle has not been driven excessively, which could mean reduced wear on high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain fluids. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, including calipers, brake discs, and binding mechanisms, should be thoroughly checked for uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Tyre condition, despite not being flagged in MOTs, warrants scrutiny—failing twice on tread depth in prior tests would have been a red flag, but here the absence of such issues suggests they have been maintained. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be examined for corrosion, as rust can compromise structural integrity without immediately failing an MOT. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are pristine, so a detailed visual and functional assessment is essential.
