2017 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · AX17 AXM

This Škoda Yeti presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with four consecutive annual passes spanning 2022 to 2025—each free of defects, advisories, or even minor failures. The most recent test in June 2025 at 46,085 miles confirms the vehicle remains structurally sound and mechanically compliant under current DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring issues, structural corrosion, or neglected maintenance in the official records, suggesting either meticulous upkeep or a model resistant to premature wear. The absence of advisories on critical systems—such as brakes, suspension, or exhaust emissions—implies no deferred repairs or pending failures. For a vehicle of this age and mileage, this consistency is unusual and points to either a well-maintained example or a history of minimal use. The mileage progression reveals a deliberate or unintentional pattern of low annual accumulation, averaging just over 5,000 miles per year since 2017. Between June 2022 (29,581 miles) and June 2025 (46,085 miles), the Yeti covered approximately 16,500 miles in three years—a pace that suggests either infrequent use, storage periods, or a secondary/leisure vehicle. Such low mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, but it also means components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and hydraulic brake fluid may have aged without the natural "exercise" that higher mileage provides. There are no red flags in the data, but the lack of mileage could mask deferred maintenance if the vehicle has sat unused for extended periods. Given the flawless MOT record, a prospective buyer should still verify a few key areas in person. While the official tests show no defects, low-mileage vehicles can develop hidden issues from prolonged inactivity—such as seized suspension joints, degraded rubber seals, or stiff brake calipers. Inspect the condition of the coil springs for sagging or corrosion, and check for any binding in the steering or throttle linkage, which can occur even with minimal use. The absence of advisories on exhaust emissions or structural integrity in the MOTs is positive, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection should confirm no rust penetration in wheel arches, sills, or suspension mounts, particularly if the Yeti has spent time in damp or salty conditions. Tyres should be checked for uneven wear or dry rot, as low-mileage cars can still suffer from aged rubber. Overall, the MOT history is exemplary, but the mileage pattern warrants closer scrutiny of components that degrade over time rather than through use.
