2016 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · AD16 KTJ

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 45,983 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults raised across the visible history. Recorded mileage sits at 45,983 miles against a 2016 build, averaging roughly 4,600 miles per year. The DVSA entries show light, consistent use: 37,521 miles at the 20 May 2022 test, 38,419 miles on 10 May 2023, 41,523 miles on 22 May 2024, and 45,983 miles in May 2025. The gap between 2023 and 2024 added only 3,104 miles. Low annual coverage like this often means longer stationary periods, which can let brake calipers seize or tyres develop flat spots even when the MOT stays clean. One anomaly needs flagging. On 10 May 2023 the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at 38,419 miles, both with no defects listed. A same-day fail with no recorded defect usually points to an administrative or data-entry error at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. The owner still cleared it without advisory work, so no recurring wear pattern emerges from the record. A buyer should still verify in person what paper records cannot show. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding after the low-mileage layoffs, inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and confirm underside structural integrity for rust given the vehicle's age. The clean MOT history implies the previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, but it does not evidence proactive mechanical servicing beyond the minimum legal standard.
