2016 Skoda Yeti 1.2L Petrol · FN16 AEK

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the February 2026 test at 97,382 miles passing with no defects recorded. Prior annual examinations from February 2023 through February 2025 similarly returned passes with no advisories, indicating consistent upkeep. The sole anomaly appears on 20 February 2023 when the vehicle logged both a pass and a fail at 69,633 miles, each showing no defects; this suggests an administrative or data-recording irregularity rather than a mechanical concern. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. The odometer advanced from 69,633 miles in February 2023 to 79,168 by February 2024, then to 90,526 in February 2025, and finally 97,382 in February 2026. Annual increments of roughly 9,500 to 11,400 miles reflect steady private or light commercial operation. No extended gaps exist between tests; the record shows continuous yearly certification. Given the absence of flagged faults, the history implies previous owners addressed consumables before each test. However, a clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical scrutiny. At ten years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers may exhibit age-related degradation not yet severe enough to trigger advisories. The tester noted no corrosion or structural concerns, yet chassis legs and sills warrant visual checks for rust. The duplicated 2023 result with no defects recorded merits verification via DVSA before purchase. Beyond that, the buyer should confirm service history matches the mileage and inspect tyre tread depth and wiper blades as minor items. The vehicle's mechanical evidence supports a sound purchase subject to standard pre-sale inspection.
