SKODA YETI2017 · 2.0L Diesel

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 27 October 2025 at 43,579 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The October 2025 test cycle shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage, with no defects logged against either outcome, a pattern repeated exactly in October 2024 when a fail on 16 October at 36,189 miles was followed by a pass on 17 October at the same mileage and no recorded defects. These same-day reversals without listed faults suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than mechanical deterioration, and the vehicle carries no advisories or recorded wear items across any entry from the 2023 pass at 30,991 miles through to 2025. The mileage record shows light use for a nine-year-old vehicle, accumulating roughly 4,842 miles per year against the 43,579 total recorded. The DVSA data charts a steady climb: 30,991 miles at the October 2023 test, 36,189 miles by October 2024, and 43,579 miles by October 2025, equating to about 5,200 to 7,400 miles annually in the logged period with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. Such low yearly coverage implies the Yeti spent extended periods idle, a usage profile that commonly accelerates perishable component degradation such as tyre sidewall cracking, brake caliper seizure, and underbody corrosion even where odometer-driven wear stays minimal. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the braking system, given that standing vehicles frequently develop binding calipers and scored discs from moisture ingress during lay-up. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe should be checked for corrosion and fatigue, as the clean MOT ledger offers no assurance on structural integrity beneath the sills where road salt and stagnant damp take hold. Verify the tyre manufacture dates and sidewall condition closely, since nine years of low mileage likely means original or aged rubber that the tester did not flag but which falls outside safe service life.
