2012 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · DA12 WHS

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 22 September 2025 at 163,663 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The September 2025 test shows an anomalous duplicate entry where the vehicle failed and passed on the same date at identical mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in September 2024 at 159,729 miles and September 2023 at 156,540 miles also passed clean, confirming a consistent record free of advisories or recorded defects. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 2012 vehicle, averaging roughly 11,690 miles per year against the 163,663 recorded. The jump from 134,631 miles at the November 2022 test to 156,540 miles by September 2023 shows around 21,900 miles covered in ten months, a period of above-average use, before settling to nearer 3,200 miles per year across the final two tests. The DVSA data is sparse with only five entries and no flagged wear items, so no consumable or structural concerns are evidenced in the official record. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the vehicle's fourteen-year age and high total mileage, as these components degrade irrespective of a clean MOT sheet. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories across all tests suggests the bodyshell has been kept sound, but standing moisture exposure can hide until an MoT tester lifts the car. Verify the September 2025 failure-pass duplication with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect, then assess tyre tread depth and wiper condition as routine consumables before purchase.
