2013 Skoda Yeti 1.6L Diesel · DA13 WTM

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 June 2025 at 134,722 miles. While the car failed the initial test on that same day due to the offside front headlamp aim being too high, this was a minor adjustment issue rather than a mechanical failure. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed inspections without major structural defects or recurring mechanical failures over the last three testing cycles. The mileage progression is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,363 miles per year. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the car covered 26,203 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 8,700 miles annually during that period. This suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of neglect, which is beneficial for rubber seals and components, though the high total mileage places significant wear on the drivetrain and suspension. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking and suspension during a physical inspection. The 2022 test at 108,519 miles flagged thin pads on all wheels and worn discs, alongside a slightly binding offside front brake caliper. While these were likely replaced since, the history of a binding caliper indicates a need to check for future sticking or uneven wear. Additionally, the 2024 advisory at 126,125 miles noted both front tyres were worn to the edge, which often points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified. Given the vehicle has surpassed 130,000 miles, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion is essential, although the record does not yet flag any structural rust. The buyer should inspect the control arms and shock absorbers, as the wear in these areas can lead to the uneven tyre wear seen in previous records. If the car feels composed and the brakes operate smoothly, the documented history suggests a vehicle that has been maintained well enough to remain legal and functional.
