2016 Skoda Yeti 1.4L Petrol · DC16 DMV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather regarding consumable components. The most recent test on August 20, 2025 at 66,977 miles passed with only a minor failure for an inoperative nearside rear registration plate lamp. This represents a stable trend in mechanical condition compared to previous years, as the vehicle has moved past the recurring tyre-related advisories that dominated earlier records. The mileage profile is consistent with typical low-use patterns, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between January 2022 at 43,353 miles and August 2025 at 66,977 miles, the car covered over 23,000 miles, showing steady use. This low mileage generally suggests less strain on the drivetrain and engine, though the history of tyre cracking indicates the vehicle may sit for extended periods, which can lead to rubber degradation regardless of tread depth. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and alignment geometry. The record shows a string of tyre issues from 2022 to 2024, including uneven wear on the nearside front edge and multiple cuts and cracks across the axles. These faults often stem from worn suspension bushes or incorrect tracking that cause premature tyre scrubbing. Additionally, verify the current state of all four tyres, as the August 2024 advisory regarding cracking and perishing suggests the rubber compound may be reaching the end of life despite having remaining tread.
