2013 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · DA13 YFU

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 13 May 2025 at 113,121 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with every eventual pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The vehicle cleared its final 2025 examination without mechanical or structural concerns. Recorded mileage rose from 94,811 at the 4 July 2023 test to 102,753 by 30 May 2024, then to 113,121 by 13 May 2025. That equates to roughly 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year, consistent with the 8,702 annual average for a 13-year-old vehicle. The DVSA data is sparse but clean, showing no consumable wear items or serious faults flagged at any stage. The two failed entries on 29 May 2024 and 13 May 2025 both list zero defects, indicating administrative or presentational rejections rather than mechanical failure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the coil springs, binding calipers, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and 113,121 miles of service. The absence of advisories in the record does not exempt a 2013 model from age-related degradation of rubber mounts and brake lines. Verify the tyre tread depth and wiper condition visually, as these minor items fall outside MOT failure thresholds until worn. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the Yeti to a basic pass standard, with no evidence of neglected upkeep or recurring fault patterns. The duplicate fail-and-pass pairs on consecutive days suggest paperwork or tester error rather than deferred repairs. Treat the clean record as a positive but not a substitute for a physical appraisal of structural integrity and drivetrain condition.
