2017 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · WV17 AAU

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a stable and improving maintenance trend. Following a single failure in January 2022, the Skoda has passed three consecutive tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection in February 2025 at 47,810 miles confirms that the vehicle remains in a clean operational state, showing no mechanical or structural failures under current DVSA scrutiny. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a gap of roughly 7,700 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,500 miles between early 2024 and 2025. This low annual accumulation suggests minimal wear on high-friction braking components and engine internals, though it increases the likelihood that rubber-based components may suffer from degradation due to age rather than mechanical stress. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should inspect for signs of aging consistent with low-mileage use. Check the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking, as these can dry out and perish regardless of distance driven. Given the failure in January 2022 at 26,144 miles, verify that the specific issue causing that failure was properly rectified and has not recurred. Additionally, examine the brake discs for surface corrosion, as vehicles that sit for long periods often develop surface rust on the rotors.
