2016 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · DA16 RWL

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 67,729 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a failed attempt on the same date with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or presentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in September 2024 at 58,424 miles and September 2023 at 49,284 miles also passed cleanly, and the January 2023 pass at 45,434 miles confirms the vehicle has avoided advisories across its recorded history. The mileage pattern sits close to typical use for a 2016 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,773 miles per year against the 67,729 miles recorded. The owner covered 9,140 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, then 9,305 miles to September 2025, showing steady private-use accumulation with no sudden jumps or long dormant periods. The record is sparse on faults but clean, with no flagged consumable wear such as tyres or wipers and no structural or emissions concerns across the five entries. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car is now ten years old and rubber and metal components degrade with age regardless of a clear MOT sheet. The identical-mileage pass and fail on 22 September 2025 warrants a check of the DVSA certificate to confirm no suppressed defect or calibration issue at the test centre. No recurring mechanical or corrosion trends appear in the data, so previous owners appear to have kept the Yeti to a basic but sufficient standard. Verify underbody condition and check for any undocumented accident repair, as the absence of advisories does not rule out hidden rust on sills or subframes.
