2016 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · AV16 FUY

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of the 12 January 2026 MOT at 57,501 miles, but tyre condition is deteriorating; the tester flagged all four tyres as worn close to the legal limit and noted slight damage to the nearside rear tyre. No other safety‑critical components failed, yet the recurring tyre advisories indicate a worsening trend that should be addressed before further use. Mileage averages roughly 5,750 miles per year for a ten‑year‑old 2016 Skoda Yeti, reflecting light usage. The odometer rose from 30,835 miles in November 2021 to 43,934 miles in January 2025, then to 57,501 miles by January 2026, showing a modest increase of about 13,500 miles over the last year. No large gaps or sudden spikes appear in the record, and the MOT history between 2019 and 2025 contains no defects, suggesting consistent, low‑stress operation. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre tread and sidewalls closely, confirming that the wear is even and that any cracking or perishing is limited to the edges noted in the 2026 test. Examine the nearside rear wheel for distortion, as previously recorded in November 2022, and assess suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear that could be contributing to uneven tyre wear. Although brakes and exhaust emissions have passed each test, a visual check of brake discs, calipers and pads is prudent to ensure no latent degradation. Finally, inspect the under‑carriage for corrosion or structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches, to verify that no hidden damage underlies the tyre issues.
