2011 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · CT11 EYB

The 2011 Skoda Yeti presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 21 May 2025 at 94,072 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests in recent years, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults. However, the record contains two anomalous entries where the vehicle failed on 23 May 2023 and 10 May 2024, both at similar mileages, yet registered no defects. This pattern suggests the tests were likely aborted or could not be completed, possibly due to insufficient diesel smoke for the emissions test or a procedural issue, rather than a mechanical failure. The subsequent passes on 25 May 2023 and 10 May 2024 confirm the underlying mechanical integrity remained sound. The recorded mileage of 94,072 miles equates to a typical annual average of roughly 6,271 miles for a fifteen-year-old vehicle. The mileage progression shows steady, low-mileage usage, advancing from 87,834 miles in May 2023 to 94,072 miles by May 2025, averaging just over 3,100 miles per year recently. Notably, the current recorded mileage matches the May 2025 test exactly, meaning the vehicle has either stood stationary for over a year or the mileage data has not been updated since the last test. Given the current date of July 2026, the car is now well over a year past its MOT due date, requiring a fresh assessment of its roadworthiness. Despite the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues associated with its age and potential prolonged standing. Fifteen years of use warrants a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for deterioration, alongside a close examination of the underbody and sills for structural corrosion. The brake discs and calipers require inspection for surface rust and binding, common faults when a vehicle sits unused. The lack of recent mileage accumulation raises questions about the condition of the tyres; check the sidewall date codes and tread for uneven wear or perishing from standing in one position. A pre-purchase inspection should verify the exhaust emissions system, ensuring the earlier test anomalies were not indicative of a latent diesel particulate filter or injector issue.
