2014 Skoda Yeti 1.6L Diesel · AE64 YAD

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 May 2025 at 111,117 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from May 2022 through May 2024 also passed cleanly. The single failure on 28 May 2024 at 101,477 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry records no defects, suggesting an administrative or process rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed on the same day at the same mileage. Annual mileage averages around 9,260 miles, consistent with typical use for a 2014 vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 79,630 miles in May 2022, 92,287 in May 2023, 101,477 in May 2024, and 111,117 in May 2025. No gaps or sudden spikes appear in the sequence. The clean advisory columns across all five entries indicate the previous owners kept consumables and core systems within test limits, with no flagged tyre wear, brake imbalance, or corrosion issues. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Twelve years of service and 111,117 miles will have loaded suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs beyond what a pass-with-no-defects certificate reveals. The absence of advisories means wear was not at test-threshold levels, not that components are unworn. Given the clean history, focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity for rust, evidence of prior accident repair, and a road test to confirm damper performance and gearbox condition. The 2024 same-day fail with no defects warrants a check of the DVSA portal for the exact refusal reason, though it carries no mechanical implication in the record itself.
