2015 SKODA YETI1.4L Petrol

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 24 October 2025 at 37,839 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in October 2024 and October 2023 likewise recorded passes with zero advisories. The only anomaly appears on 1 November 2022 when the vehicle failed at 34,938 miles yet showed no defects, then passed later that same day at 34,942 miles with no defects noted. This pattern indicates a clean compliance history rather than any worsening mechanical condition. Mileage accumulation sits far below typical for an eleven year old vehicle. The odometer read 34,942 miles at the November 2022 pass and crawled to 36,313 by October 2023, then 37,195 by October 2024, reaching 37,839 by October 2025. Annual distances dropped from roughly 1,370 miles to under 650 miles in the latest year. Such low and declining use suggests prolonged standing periods, with no rapid accumulation or gap in testing. The record remains sparse but entirely clean across five successive annual examinations. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on age related deterioration rather than wear driven faults. Long idle spells risk perished suspension bushes, cracked coil spring coatings, and superficial corrosion on brake discs from moisture. The tester never flagged binding calipers or structural integrity issues, yet standing vehicles often develop flat spotted tyres and hardened wiper blades despite low tread wear. We recommend lifting the car to check subframe rust and probing brake hoses for cracking. Previous keepers clearly met statutory test requirements each year, but the absence of advisories does not confirm proactive maintenance of consumables. Verify the 2022 duplicate entry with DVSA to rule out omitted minor defects. Given the gentle mileage, mechanical drivetrain components likely retain margin, though fluid changes may be overdue by time rather than distance.
