2016 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · DF65 XOL

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record as of the most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 43,885 miles. The absence of advisories or defects in the last three consecutive tests suggests a consistent standard of upkeep. While a failure was recorded on 16 January 2024 at 38,647 miles, the subsequent pass two days later indicates that the identified issue was rectified immediately, preventing a trend of recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,388 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental usage rather than long periods of stagnation, moving from 35,065 miles in January 2023 to 43,885 miles in early 2026. This consistent, low-mileage pattern typically results in less wear on high-friction components like brake discs and pads, though it can sometimes lead to shallower tyre tread or aged rubber components due to lack of regular rotation. Because the MOT history is remarkably clean, there are no specific recurring advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions to flag. However, the low annual mileage suggests the vehicle may have spent significant time in a stationary state. A physical inspection should focus on checking for perished rubber seals, dry-rotted tyre sidewalls, and ensuring the battery health is sufficient, as these are common issues in low-use vehicles. The buyer should also verify the service history to complement this MOT record. While the MOT confirms the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, it does not cover the mechanical health of the engine or gearbox. Given the low mileage, checking for any signs of fluid leaks or corrosion on the underbody remains a prudent step to ensure the vehicle has been stored in a suitable environment.
