2014 Skoda Yeti 2.0L Diesel · FP14 VMA

The Skoda Yeti presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 55,028 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 30 April 2025 at 53,270 miles confirms no outstanding advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 29 April 2025 at the same 53,270 miles, where the record shows no defects logged, indicating an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault corrected the next day. Annual mileage sits low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows 38,098 miles at the June 2023 test, rising to 43,129 by May 2024, then a jump to 53,270 by April 2025, and 55,028 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,586 miles per year overall, with the 2024 to 2025 period showing about 10,000 miles added. The DVSA data is sparse and clean across all five entries, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion ever flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition given the vehicle's age. Low use combined with the 2024 to 2025 mileage increase suggests periods of standing that can accelerate rubber perishing and surface corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components. The clean MOT history offers no warning on coil springs or binding calipers, but these items warrant hands-on checks. The repeated clean passes imply the previous keeper addressed basic upkeep and avoided deferred consumable replacement. The same-day fail and pass in April 2025 points to a paperwork or lighting-check anomaly rather than neglected repair. On the evidence supplied, the Yeti shows no worsening mechanical trend and remains a sound used purchase subject to a standard pre-sale examination.
