2016 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · CP16 SPU

This Škoda Yeti presents a clean and stable MOT history, with the most recent test on 5 January 2026 at 24,205 miles showing no defects or advisories. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate across all five recorded tests—spanning 2022 to 2026 —without any warnings or failures, indicating that fundamental mechanical and safety systems have been well-preserved. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests either meticulous maintenance by previous owners or, more likely, a vehicle that has been driven lightly enough to avoid significant wear. No structural concerns, brake system issues, or suspension failures appear in the record, reinforcing its current roadworthiness. The mileage progression is notably slow for a vehicle of this age, averaging just 2,420 miles per year over the past four years. Between January 2022 (16,339 miles) and January 2026 (24,205 miles) , the Yeti accumulated 7,866 miles in four years , a rate that implies either infrequent use, extended periods of inactivity, or a secondary/leisure vehicle. Such low mileage reduces wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components, but it also raises questions about potential fluid degradation—oil, coolant, and brake fluid—if the vehicle has sat unused for long stretches. The lack of mileage accumulation may also mean the battery has seen minimal cycling, which could affect its long-term health. Given the absence of MOT advisories, a prospective buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on areas not covered by the test. The suspension—particularly control arm bushes, coil springs, and track rod ends —should be checked for wear, as low-mileage vehicles can still develop stiffness or leaks in these components if fluids were neglected. Brake system integrity is critical; while the MOT records no issues, binding calipers, uneven disc wear, or seized handbrake mechanisms often go undetected without dynamic testing. Structural corrosion is another key concern, especially around wheel arches, sills, and underbody panels, where moisture retention could lead to hidden rust despite the clean MOT history. Finally, fluid condition —engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant—must be verified, as stagnation can accelerate degradation even in a lightly driven vehicle.
