2016 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · AF16 XDU

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 16,108 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in 2024, 2023, and 2022 each passed cleanly with no advisories, confirming the vehicle has avoided recurring wear-related failures across its recorded history. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 2016 model. The odometer read 12,564 miles at the 4 October 2022 test, rose to 13,894 by 3 October 2023, then 14,940 on 20 September 2024, and 16,108 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 1,200 miles per year, far below typical averages. Such low accumulation over ten years suggests prolonged standing periods, which can allow corrosion, seized brakes, and degraded rubber components even where the MOT shows a clear sheet. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding after storage. The clean record gives no evidence of structural rust or exhaust emission breaches, but standing vehicles often hide perished tyres and flat-spotted discs the annual test will not always catch at low mileage. Given the absent advisories and stable pass rate, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current despite minimal driving. The duplicated 2025 entry warrants a check of the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect, but on the face of the record this Yeti is a low-risk used purchase.
