2016 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · FH16 VXT

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 61,175 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 15 June 2023 at 41,571 miles that was immediately retested and passed the same day with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,100 miles, typical for a ten-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 34,793 miles in July 2022, 41,571 by June 2023, 53,381 by July 2024, and 61,175 by June 2025. No rapid jumps or unexplained gaps appear. The MOT data is sparse on faults, with every pass carrying no advisories, so the history gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of advisories across five years means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were never flagged, yet ten-year-old vehicles commonly develop such issues unseen by the test bay. Examine brake discs for lip and calipers for binding, check exhaust emissions integrity, and inspect underbody and sills for corrosion. The same-day fail and pass in June 2023 warrants a glance at the original refusal reason via the DVSA portal, though no defect was carried forward. Given the low yearly use, confirm the cambelt and fluid intervals were honoured by prior keepers, as light mileage can mask overdue service items.
