2017 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · FD17 GRX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-21 at 98,108 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, a failed test on the same date in 2024 at 89,732 miles—despite no defects being listed—suggests potential inconsistency in testing or record-keeping. Subsequent tests from 2023 to 2022 show consistent passes with no defects, implying the car has maintained acceptable standards over the past three years. The absence of structural, suspension, or braking issues in the latest test supports a neutral assessment, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny for accuracy. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 9-year-old vehicle, averaging ~10,901 miles annually. A notable jump from 56,478 miles in 2022 to 74,383 miles in 2023—an increase of 17,905 miles—suggests either heavy use or potential inactivity during the intervening period. The 2024 test at 89,732 miles and 2025 test at 98,108 miles show gradual accumulation, consistent with regular driving. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, indicating no systemic mechanical or structural issues over the period. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the age and mileage, and inspect brake discs for uneven wear. The 2024 failed test, though unexplained, underscores the need to check exhaust emissions and corrosion, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. No specific advisories are noted in the record, but the lack of detailed defect reports means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
