2017 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · SR17 AAV

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 18,631 miles, which resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement over the last three years. While the vehicle suffered a failure in March 2023, it has since maintained a consistent passing record without any subsequent advisories or defects, suggesting that previous maintenance issues have been fully rectified. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 2,070 miles per year. The record shows a steady, incremental increase in distance covered, moving from 7,673 miles in May 2021 to 18,631 miles in March 2026. This low usage suggests the vehicle has spent much of its life on short journeys or has been stored for extended periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such patterns can sometimes lead to secondary issues like tyre perishing or battery degradation due to infrequent use. The March 2023 failure highlights a period where basic upkeep was neglected, specifically regarding the tyres, windscreen wipers, and mirror assemblies. The tester flagged cracking and perishing across all four tyres, alongside ineffective wiper blades and insecure mirror lenses. Although these items were addressed to secure the subsequent passes in 2024, 2025, and 2026, a buyer should still inspect the age and condition of the rubber components. Low-mileage vehicles often require tyre replacements due to age-related cracking rather than tread wear. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres to ensure they are not showing signs of sidewall perishing despite having sufficient tread depth. Given the low annual mileage, checking the service history for oil changes is also necessary, as infrequent driving can lead to moisture buildup in the engine oil. The absence of any structural corrosion or suspension component advisories in the recent history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's overall mechanical stability.
